We identify child-level and parent-level characteristics associated with children's patterns of leaving home. We use a multilevel discrete-time hazards model to examine the impact of family and demographic factors at both levels, and utilize the Alternating Conditional Expectation algorithm optimally to transform the dependent and independent variables. We find that measured variables at both the child and the parent level have important influences, as do period and cohort factors. However, unmeasured parent-level factors have an influence on the departure of children that is broadly similar in magnitude to measured factors.
我们识别出与子女离家模式相关的子女层面和父母层面的特征。我们使用多层次离散时间风险模型来检验两个层面上家庭和人口因素的影响，并最优地运用交替条件期望算法对因变量和自变量进行转换。我们发现，子女层面和父母层面的测量变量都有重要影响，时期和队列因素也有影响。然而，未测量的父母层面因素对子女离家的影响在程度上与测量因素大致相似。
