本研究使用華人家庭動態資料庫 (PSFD) 中的RI1999、RI2000與RI2003三個主樣本合併資料,探討親子間金錢移轉是否影響子女與父母的居住選擇。由於親子兩代間的「金錢移轉」和「居住選擇」可能同時決定,在考慮金錢移轉的內生性之下,本研究使用兩階段模型進行估計。針對親子居住安排,本研究分為同住、同鄰與居住距離遠近三種型態分別探討。結果發現,親子間居住安排是夫妻、公婆、岳父母、與親子之間權力互動的結果,同時受到親子間金錢移轉行為所影響。當夫妻一方有所得能力或父母健在時,皆傾向和自己父母住得鄰近,但不傾向與配偶父母住得鄰近。父母利用給予子女金錢資助,會吸引子女住得鄰近,有如一種購買親情的行為;子女藉由給予父母金錢資助,會擴大與父母的居住距離,達到購買隱私的目的。
This study uses the merged data consisting of the three main respondants samples -- RI1999, RI2000 and RI2003 -- from Panel Study of Family Dynamics (PSFD) to investigate the influence of parent-child money transfer on the living arrangement of children and parents. Considering the possible simultaneity between money transfer and living arrangement within the family, a two-stage model is applied in estimation. Focusing on parent-child living arrangement, three types of distances, i.e., co-residence, neighboring and the proximity of residential areas are examined, respectively. The results show that the parent-child living arrangement is the consequence of power interaction among husband-wife, parents-in-law, and parents-children plus the influence of money transfer between young and old generations. Income earners tend to live closer to their natal parents but farther to that of their spouse’s. Alive elder parents play a significant role to resist their married offspring to live with parents-in-law, alive single mother in particular. Parents who dowardly finance their children tend to motivate their children to live closer while the reverse is true for children upwardly finance their parents. It is suggested that downward money transfer is to purchase social care from the children and upward money transfer privacy of living.
