Sažetak
This article examines the relationship between individual income
and self-control by employing the data available from the China
Labor-force Dynamics Survey 2014. We use the two-stage least
square method (2SLS) and mediating/moderating effects to estimate
the relationship between income and self-control. Results
show that self-control impacts individual income both positively
and significantly. Age and gender play moderate roles, while education
plays a mediating role in the progress of self-control to
impact individual income. Robustness analyses are conducted
using an IV-quantile regression model, a plausible exogenous
instrument, and combining different categories. Findings are consistent
across different models and assumptions. This study indicates
that an improvement in individual self-control is conducive
to increasing individual income.
