This project focuses on understanding the long term effects on children who grow up under conditions of economic distress. We will focus initially on establishing the long term health and labor market impacts of growing up during an economic downturn, and will then focus on understanding potential mechanisms that may operate through physical and mental health. The project emphasizes co-operative interdisciplinary exploration of the pathways by which economic resources affect child development, and will harness multiple datasets (such as the American Community Survey, the Medical Expenditure Survey, The Family Transitions Project and the California Families Project) multiple research methods, (such as linear probability analyses, "fixed effects" analyses, latent variable structural equation modeling) and multiple disciplinary perspectives represented by economics, psychology and sociology. Given that the United States is in the process of slowly recovering from the largest recession since the Great Depression, this project will have broad impact through its clear policy relevance. While the impact of business cycles on adult outcomes is being thoroughly documented, we currently know very little about how they affect the well-being of children. It is natural to assume that the impacts of economic booms and busts must also spill over onto the next generation's long-term success, yet this is largely uncharted research territory. The project's intellectual impact lies in the development of a more holistic approach to understanding the connection between economic resources and child development. The disciplines of economics, psychology and sociology are currently attempting to understand this relationship from completely different angles and in nearly total isolation. The lack of interdisciplinary interaction has created disciplinary voids that produce incomplete understanding of the range of impacts children experience. The project will form a foundation for a network of researchers who are not simply informed about related inquiries that are taking place in other disciplines but who are able to fully incorporate that understanding into more comprehensive research approaches that ultimately yield deeper knowledge about the interrelated impacts of economic downturns. This network will include both faculty and graduate students, who will be trained through both direct immersion in the research projects, and intensive interdisciplinary mentoring and coursework. Finally, the project will enhance the infrastructure of research, as it will involve putting together a new historical employment series, which will be made publicly available to all interested researchers through the principal investigator's website. This project is supported through the NSF Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (IBSS) competition.

该项目着重于了解在经济困扰条件下成长的儿童的长期影响。 我们最初将专注于在经济低迷期间建立长期健康和劳动力市场的影响，然后专注于理解可能通过身心健康运作的潜在机制。该项目强调对经济资源影响儿童发展的途径的合作跨学科探索，并将利用多个数据集（例如美国社区调查，医疗支出调查，家庭过渡项目和加利福尼亚家庭项目）多种研究方法，多种研究方法，例如线性概率分析，固定的效果，“分析”，LEAT INTERIAL，LEAT INTICERIDERSILIDERSILIDERSILIDERSILIDERSILIDERSILIDERSILIDERSILIDERSILIDERSILIDERIDERIDERIDERS和多元化的模型），以及多元化的模型和多元化模型），和多元化的模型和多元化模型），并具有多元化的模型和多样性的模型），并分析了多种研究，并具有多种研究概率，并具有多种研究概率，并具有多种研究概率。社会学。 鉴于美国正在从大萧条以来最大的衰退中慢慢恢复，因此该项目将通过其明确的政策相关性产生广泛的影响。 尽管商业周期对成人成果的影响正在彻底记录下来，但我们目前对他们如何影响儿童的福祉了解一无所知。 很自然地假设经济繁荣和萧条的影响也必须溢出到下一代的长期成功中，但这在很大程度上是未知的研究领域。该项目的智力影响在于开发一种更全面的方法来理解经济资源与儿童发展之间的联系。 经济学，心理学和社会学的学科目前正试图从完全不同的角度和几乎完全隔离中理解这种关系。 缺乏跨学科的互动创造了纪律上的空隙，从而产生了对儿童经历的影响范围的不完全理解。 该项目将为研究人员网络奠定基础，这些研究人员不仅会了解其他学科中发生的相关询问，而是能够将这种理解完全融入更全面的研究方法中，这些研究方法最终会产生有关经济下滑的相互关联影响的更深入的知识。 该网络将包括教职员工和研究生，他们将通过直接沉浸于研究项目以及密集的跨学科指导和课程培训。 最后，该项目将增强研究的基础设施，因为它将涉及将新的历史就业系列组合在一起，该系列将通过首席研究者的网站公开向所有感兴趣的研究人员公开使用。 NSF跨学科的行为和社会科学研究（IBSS）竞赛得到了支持。
