Abstract
The labor supply behaviors of high educated students has been quietly prevalent in today’s society. What are the factors causing that high percentage of in school part-time work behaviors? Will parental transfer make any effect on that? And what impact will it cause on academic performances? In view of this , we use the data of Taiwan Youth Project made by Institute of Sociology , Academia Sinica to try to find out the factors of freshman’s part-time work behaviors and what kind of impact will that behaviors cause on academic performances. Especially ,we focus on the effect of parental transfers on part-time work behaviors. Because of the consideration of endogeneity , we use bivariate Probit with instrumental variables ,Tobit with instrumental variables model ,Probit-OLS,and Tobit-OLS model for empirical analysis. The empirical results show that parental transfer causes significant negative impact both on labor force participation and working hours. The labor force participation can’t make any significant impact although the increase of working hours causes significant negative impact on academic performances. In contrast , if we don’t think about the endogeneity, the negative impact will be underestimated by OLS.
