Abstract

Current literature offers several potential channels through which jobless parents can affect children. In this paper, I provide new evidence based on variation across intelligence of children. The results suggest that loss of human capital investments into children is the driving mechanism. I find that gap in education widens with higher intelligence, while the gap in labour-market outcomes narrows. I rationalise these findings using the skill formation and employer learning theories.

智力是否能保护孩子免受父母失业的影响？

目前的文献提供了失业父母影响孩子的几个潜在渠道。在本文中，我提供了基于儿童智力差异的新证据。研究结果表明，对儿童人力资本投资的损失是驱动机制。我发现，智商越高，教育方面的差距越大，而劳动力市场结果方面的差距则越小。我使用技能形成和雇主学习理论来合理化这些发现。
