Abstract
- This paper, analyzes movements among household types. Persons in one household may join another type. Correspondingly, a household's structure may change when someone joins it. Data are from the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics, spanning `1968-1980. The individuals followed in the survey generated spells analyzed with a multivariate competing risk hazard model. We develop a map of the flow among household types and of the economic and demographic profiles of individuals making the transitions. We find wide variability in the stability of household types and marked racial differences in the relative stability and pattern of destination choices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
