Effect of social capital on income distribution preferences: comparison of neighborhood externality between high- and low-income households
Get PDFThis paper explores how individual preferences for income redistribution are influenced by social capital, which is measured by rates of participation in community activities. I combined individual-level data and place of residence data to examine how social capital accumulated in residential areas influences an individual’s preference for income redistribution. After controlling for individual characteristics, I obtained the following key findings: people are more likely to prefer income redistribution in areas with higher rates of community participation. This tendency is more clearly observed in high-income groups than in low-income groups. This implies that one’s preference for income redistribution is influenced by psychological externalities.Redistribution; Social capital; Inequality; Externality
The Effect of Learning Varies According to Locality: Micro Data Analysis of the Lawyer Market in Japan
Get PDFBy using individual level data, this paper attempts to examine how and to what extent behavior and perception of those bringing lawsuit’s differ between large district courts (competitive lawyer market) and medium or small district ones (less competitive lawyer market). The major findings are; (1) in medium or small but not in large districts, trial experience discourages persons from employing a lawyer. (2) A natural person is less likely to employ a lawyer than a legal person in medium or small districts, but not in large ones. (3) The self-rated cost of searching for a lawyer is lower in large districts than small ones. It follows from these results that the lower competitive pressure in the lawyer markets in medium and small districts results in higher costs of employing a lawyer than is found in large districts.Learning, Lawyer market
Influence of age of child on differences in marital satisfaction of males and females in East Asian countries
Get PDFUsing individual-level data from China, Korea, and Japan for 2006, this research examines how the age of children of the relationship influences marital satisfaction for males and females in East Asian countries. Our results show that the marital satisfaction of males is barely affected by a child of the relationship, whereas the marital satisfaction of females with a young child is lower than that of females who do not have a child. This result holds for countries of different development stages. There is also a gender differential regarding the effect of young children on marital satisfaction. Furthermore, the more developed the country, the greater this difference becomes.Marital satisfaction, child, East Asian countries, probit
Reciprocity and the matrilineal advantage in European grand-parenting
Get PDFThis study proposes reciprocity between parents and children to explain the observed
matrilineal advantage in grandparent—grandchildren relationships in Europe. On the
one hand, maternal grandparents look after grandchildren more than paternal
grandparents do. On the other hand, daughters help their parents with personal tasks
more than sons do. This advantage is stronger in the countries of Europe with lower
gender equality and lower trust in others, where the traditional view of the family is
more likely to prevail
Effect of grandchildren on the happiness of grandparents: Does the grandparent's child's gender matter?
No full textUsing a representative sample from Japan and a difference-in-differences strategy,
we investigate whether the effect of having grandchildren on the happiness of grandparents
varies with the gender of their (own) single child. In line with our expectations,
we find that maternal grandmothers have more to lose or less to gain from
having grandchildren than paternal grandmothers. In contrast, grandfathers’
changes in happiness do not depend on their own child’s gender. This result is
explained by the fact that grandmothers are more likely to be involved in childrearing
when their daughter has a child
