Young Adults Living with their Parents and the Influence of Peers
利用美国全国青少年健康纵向调查数据，研究发现同伴行为对年轻成年人是否离开父母家具有统计上显著的影响，通过朋友提名构建同伴群体并控制网络和队列固定效应来识别因果关系。
Abstract This study examines the impact of peer behaviour on the living arrangements of young adults in the US using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. We achieve identification by exploiting the differences in the timing of leaving the parental home among peers, the individual‐specific nature of the peer groups that are based on friendship nominations, and by including network and cohort fixed effects. Our results indicate that there are statistically significant peer effects on young adults’ decisions to leave the parental home. We discuss various mechanisms and confirm the robustness of our results through a placebo exercise.
