Exposure to intimate partner violence and children’s dynamic skill accumulation: evidence from a UK longitudinal study
利用英国纵向调查数据，研究母亲遭受言语和身体虐待对7岁以下儿童认知、社交和情感技能的影响，发现学龄前暴露对幼儿情感技能有显著负面影响，3岁后损害认知和社交技能。
Children are increasingly recognized as secondary victims of intimate partner violence. This paper uses a unique UK longitudinal child development survey to study the relationship between verbal and physical abuse experienced by mothers and children's development up to the age of seven. Estimating production functions for cognitive, social, and socio-emotional skills, we find that exposure during pre-school years has a quantitatively important negative effect on socio-emotional skills among toddlers and negatively affects cognitive and social skills after the age of three. The estimated impact on cognitive development is consistent with measures of cognitive skills based on school-based tests.
