利用儿童迁移时的年龄差异,发现澳大利亚儿童成长地点对其成年后收入、教育、婚姻和生育有因果影响,且青少年时期影响最大;还通过同邮编不同出生队列的同伴差异提供了同伴效应的证据。

Abstract

I use variation in the age at which children move to show that where an Australian child grows up has a causal effect on their adult income, education, marriage, and fertility. In doing so, I replicate the findings of Chetty and Hendren (2018a) in a country with less inequality, more social mobility, and different institutions. Across all outcomes, place typically matters most during the teenage years. Finally, I provide suggestive evidence of peer effects using cross-cohort variation in the peers of permanent postcode residents: those born into a richer cohort for their postcode tend to end up with higher incomes themselves.
