研究了户主国际移民期间,家庭资源在男孩和女孩间的分配变化,发现移民期间资源更偏向女孩,但户主回国后这一模式逆转。

Abstract

This paper considers how international migration of the head of household affects the allocation of resources toward boys relative to girls within households remaining in the home country. I address the endogeneity of migration with a differences-in-differences style regression model that compares those households in which migrants have already returned home with those in which migrants are still away. The evidence suggests that while the head of household is away a greater fraction of resources are spent on girls relative to boys, but upon his return, this pattern is reversed.
