The main purposes of this study are to examine the impact of parent's and child's incomes on financial transfers from elderly parents to their adult children, and to study other factors influencing financial transfers from parents to children. Analyzing data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, which provides long-term observations of financial transfers, the current study finds strong positive effects of parent's income on financial transfers from parents to their adult children. In terms of determinants of financial transfers, the results of multivariate logistic regression analyses suggest that child's education child's marital status, and sibling size are statistically significant determinants of parent-to-child financial transfers.
