THE EFFECTS OF TEENAGE FATHERHOOD ON YOUNG ADULT OUTCOMES
利用全国纵向数据，通过比较青少年父亲与伴侣流产的年轻男性的经济结果，发现青少年父亲身份会减少受教育年限、降低高中毕业率，并增加早期婚姻和同居的可能性。
This paper uses national longitudinal data and several new empirical strategies to examine the consequences of teenage fatherhood. The key contribution is to compare economic outcomes of young fathers to young men whose partners experienced a miscarriage rather than a live birth. The results suggest that teenage fatherhood decreases years of schooling and the likelihood of receiving a high school diploma and increases general educational development receipt. Teenage fatherhood also appears to increase early marriage and cohabitation, and has mixed short-term effects on several labor market outcomes.
