| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 經濟學研究所 === 95 === Using the 1988 to 2004 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES),
this thesis examines effects of geographic factors and within-family income concentration
on various quantiles of the income distribution among all co-residing families.
Our empirical findings show that it is more unlikely for young family members with higher incomes
to co-reside with elderly members,
and co-residence tends to relieve poor family members in poverty.
We also verify the benefits from co-residence due to its increasing-returns-to-scale property
by comparing income distributions among co-residing and non co-resing families.
