This article reviews how the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) has contributed to our understanding of the links between childhood economic conditions- in particular, the household incomes with very young children-and the economic attainment and health of those children when they reach adulthood. From its beginning, the PSID has provided data useful for addressing intergenerational questions. In the mid-1990s, PSID data supported a series of studies that link early childhood income to early adult attainments, particularly to completed schooling. At the same time, discoveries in neurobiology and epidemiology were beginning to provide details on the processes producing the observed correlations. These discoveries led to a more recent set of PSID-based studies that focus not only on labor market and behavioral outcomes, but also on links between income in the earliest stages of life (including the prenatal period) and adult health. Links between economic disadvantage in childhood and adult health, and the developmental neuroscience underlying those links, are promising areas for future research.
本文回顾了收入动态跟踪调查（PSID）如何增进我们对儿童时期经济状况（特别是有幼儿家庭的收入）与这些儿童成年后的经济成就和健康之间联系的理解。从一开始，PSID就提供了有助于解决代际问题的数据。在20世纪90年代中期，PSID数据支持了一系列将儿童早期收入与成年早期成就（特别是完成学业情况）联系起来的研究。与此同时，神经生物学和流行病学领域的发现开始详细说明产生所观察到的相关性的过程。这些发现催生了最近一系列基于PSID的研究，这些研究不仅关注劳动力市场和行为结果，还关注生命最初阶段（包括孕期）的收入与成年健康之间的联系。儿童时期的经济劣势与成年健康之间的联系，以及这些联系背后的发育神经科学，是未来研究很有前景的领域。
