dc.description.abstract |
New Zealand panel data, which provide extensive information on the benefit histories of children and their parents, is used to
estimate an intergenerational correlation coefficient in welfare participation. Recent estimation techniques for addressing issues of
measurement error are applied in this analysis (Zimmerman 1992, Solon 1992, Bjorklund and Jantti 1997, Couch, D. and T. Dunn 1997,
Auginbaugh, 2000). The long-term benefit histories of parents and instrumental variable techniques provide lower and upper-bound
estimates of the true intergenerational correlation. A remarkably narrow band is estimated for this parameter, placing this correlation
coefficient at slightly less than 0.4. Approximately one-third of this effect appears to operate through the lower educational
attainment of children reared in families receiving social welfare benefits. |
