Educational, Subsidy, Agricultural Development, and Fertility Change
构建家庭决策模型，分析农业技术变革如何影响家庭在生育和子女教育之间的资源分配。基于印度数据的实证发现，受绿色革命技术影响更大的农户生育率显著下降，而教育投资显著增加；相反，在没有技术变革的地区，学校邻近性对教育和生育的影响很小。
In this paper, the effects of continuing agricultural technical change on the allocation of resources by households between increments to family size and to schooling are examined within the context of a model of household decision-making in which education facilitates innovation. An empirical application of the model to data from India indicates, consistent with the theory, that in farm households more intensively exposed to the new technologies associated with the “green revolution, †fertility was significantly reduced, while the level of schooling investment was significantly increased. In contrast, and also consistent with the model, proximity of schools, in the absence of technical change, had only marginal effects on schooling and little impact on family size.
