Parental Preferences and Provision for Progeny
Abstract
This paper develops a general preference model for analyzing parental allocations of resources among their progeny. The implications fro this model for the distribution of educational resources and earnings potentials among siblings are examined. A particular version of the preference model is estimated using data on the education and earnings of adult male twins. The estimates imply that parents care about offsprings' earnings inequality and provide more (less) resources to the less (more) able than is consistent with an investment model.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
