| Summary: | This dissertation consists of three empirical studies that are believed to provide new contributions
to the literature exploring the determinants of children/adolescents achievement test scores (Chapter 2),
adolescent health risk behaviors (Chapter 3), and children time use patterns (Chapter 4). The second
and third studies look at the separate roles of fathers and of mothers in influencing outcomes, wherein
parental time is the resource input of interest quantitatively measured and directly derived from time
diaries. The last chapter looks at the time allocation of children and how it varies according to child and
household characteristics. |
