The effect of the father’s education is similar in magnitude to that of the mother’s education. [...] Interpreting inequality in parental inputs: constraints versus objectives The analysis of the NLSY97 data in the previous section documents the impact of parental characteristics and parental choices (such as parenting style) at a specific point in time and in a specific country with its own specific policies and institutions in place. [...] The results in columns 4 and 5 confirm that each of the three variables of interest has the predicted effect: income inequality increases the incidence of intensive parenting style, while tax progressivity and social expenditure reduce it (though the effect of the latter is not statistically significant). [...] (2022), we use the same model to study the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the inequality in the school performance of children from different socio-economic backgrounds. [...] We exclude parents who choose one of the other two categories and check the robustness of the results to alternative plausible classifications of the excluded group.
