abstract: 'Family influences on economic performance are investigated. In
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particular, sibship sex composition is related to hourly wages using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. The wages of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
men are increasing in the proportion of siblings who are brothers, but
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the wages of women are insensitive to sibling gender. Nonwage outcomes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are generally unaffected. Contrasts by age structure and demographic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
group are also presented. The analysis addresses econometric challenges
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
like the endogeneity of fertility and selection into the workforce. In
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
addition, mechanisms such as labour market interactions, human capital
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investment and role model effects are documented. A questionnaire on job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
search indicates a same-gender bias in the use of brothers and sisters
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in obtaining employment. Developmental and psychological assessments
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggest that brothers may be associated with worse childhood home
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
environments and more traditional family attitudes among women. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
findings are policy relevant and contribute to an understanding of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender differences and earnings inequality.'
