Notes: The sample for Panel A consists of all respondents in NLSY79 data set while the sample for Panel B consists of all female respondents to the NLSY79.

Measurement of dependent Variables: Co-Residence Transfer = 1 if the respondent lives with parents, = 0 otherwise. Financial transfer = 1 if parents provide at least half of living expenses, = 0 otherwise.
