The Interaction between Parents and Children:three Essays on Family Economics
Get PDFParent-child interactions play a key role in family wellbeing and have long-term effects on inequalities. Therefore, it is critical to analyze parent-child interactions over the life cycle. In this thesis, we examine the impact of parent-child interactions in China and the Netherlands, two countries that differ significantly in terms of their cultures and social welfare systems. Chapter 2 examines the effect of daycare use at age 0-2 on children’s cognitive abilities and self-assessed qualities at age 8 in the Netherlands. In Chapter 3, we examine the effect of parental housing wealth on children’s marriage prospects, focusing on the context of China. In Chapter 4, we investigate the effect of losing a child in China on parents’ physical health, mental health, and wellbeing later in life

The effect of parental health shocks on living arrangements and employment
Get PDFThis study investigates the impacts of health shocks among older individuals on the dynamics of their living arrangements in Europe and the United States. Exploiting unpredicted health shocks, we use an event-study difference-in-differences approach to demonstrate that health shocks increase difficulties with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, thereby increasing the need for care. Our findings indicate that health shocks raise the probability of nursing home residency and co-residence with adult children by 0.7 and 1.4 percentage points in Europe, and by 2.1 and 1.8 percentage points in the U.S., respectively. Further analyses reveal that more generous long-term care public policies correlate with a higher probability of nursing home residency and a lower probability of co-residing with adult children, highlighting the significant role of public policies in household responses to health shocks. Additionally, we find that health shocks negatively impact adult children's labor supply, particularly in the U.
