摘要

摘要本研究的主要目的是检验受父母学习领域限制的可用信息对子女专业选择中观察到的分类偏好的贡献。与面板模型相比，我们定义了具有1对2匹配的家族内传输功能（每个父代1个）。使用加拿大2011年全国家庭调查的机密主要文件，结果显示，儿童对学习领域的选择表现出与能力排序无关的显著分类偏好，以及专业和其他家庭特征之间未观察到的差异。值得注意的是，我们将这种持续的分类趋势归因于父母在家庭中的教育背景所建立的替代专业之间的信息不对称。

Assortative preferences in choice of major

Abstract The primary objective of this study is to examine the contribution of available information constrained by parents’ fields of study to the observed assortative preferences in their children’s choice of major. Comparable to panel models, we define within-family transmission functions with 1-to-2 matches (1 for each parent). Using the confidential major file of the 2011 National Household Survey from Canada, the results show that children’s choice of field of study exhibits significant assortative preferences isolated from ability sorting and unobserved differences across majors and other family characteristics. With some caution, we attribute this persisting assortative tendency to the information asymmetry across alternative majors built on by parents’ educational backgrounds within families.

期刊介绍： As of March 31, 2019, the IZA Open Access Journal Series will transfer to Sciendo. Please use the Springer Editorial Manager system for all submissions until February 28. During the transfer period in March 2019 you may direct your submissions to journals@iza.org. The IZA Journal of Labor Economics publishes scientific articles in all areas of labor economics. This refers to original high-quality theoretical and applied contributions on both microeconomic and macroeconomic labor-related topics. In particular, the IZA Journal of Labor Economics encourages submissions in subject areas that are closely linked to the various IZA Program Areas, ranging from education, family and environment to mobility, behavioral and personnel economics, and labor market institutions, among others. The IZA Journal of Labor Economics is part of IZA’s mission of contributing to social and economic discourse, enabling political decision-making to be based on the best available scientific knowledge. We want to stimulate research to close knowledge gaps. Hence, the IZA Journal of Labor Economics particularly welcomes contributions that provide scientifically sound answers to open and relevant questions of modern labor economics.
