  title = {Coresidence With Elderly Parents: A ComparativeStudy of Southeast China and Taiwan},
  abstract = { <p>Using recent survey data from the Panel Study of Family Dynamics (PSFD) on 1,655 married persons born in 1964 {\textendash} 1976 in southeastern China and Taiwan, we studied coresidence with elderly parents using a multinomial probit model for coresidence type and an ordered probit model for residential distance. The study yielded four findings: (a) Patrilocal coresidence was more prevalent in Taiwan than in China; (b) matrilocal coresidence was more prevalent in China; (c) practical factors mattered in both places; (d) in Taiwan only, a couple{\textquoteright}s economic resources facilitated breaking away from patrilocal coresidence. The findings suggest that, although economic development does not necessarily result in less traditional familial culture, personal economic~resources may enable individual couples to~deviate from tradition.</p> },
