Elderly Care and Intrafamily Resource Allocation when Children Migrate
研究子女迁移后，兄弟姐妹在提供经济支持与生活照料上的互动关系，发现经济支持是战略互补，而时间照料是战略替代，对理解家庭养老安排有参考价值。
This paper considers the intrafamily allocation of elderly care in the context of international migration where migrant children may be able to provide financial assistance to their parents but are unable to offer physical care. To investigate sibling interaction, I estimate best response functions for individual physical and financial contributions as a function of siblings' contributions. After addressing the endogeneity of siblings' contributions and selection into migration, I find evidence that siblings' financial contributions function as strategic complements while time contributions operate as strategic substitutes. This suggests that contributions may be based on both strategic bequest and public good motivations.
