| dc.description.abstract | We study the motives behind parents' transfers to their children, and
the relationship between tangible transfers and educational investments.
Another issue is the channels parents choose for tangible transfers.
Do they use bequests and inter vivos gifts as substitutes or complements?
We use a recent Swedish data set. It is superior to previously
used data as it has information on both inheritances and gifts
received. Our empirical analysis gives some support for parents having
altruistic motive for their transfers. We also find evidence that parents
use bequest and gifts as substitutes. | swe |
