Estimating the Intrahousehold Incidence of Illness: Child Health and Gender-Inequality in the Allocation of Time
提出一种方法，利用调查数据中的离散健康与活动指标，估计婴儿疾病对家庭成员时间分配差异的影响，发现婴儿疾病加剧了印尼青少年男女之间的人力资本积累差距。
In this paper, the authors develop and implement a method for estimating the effects of infant morbidity on the differential allocation of time of family members based on discrete indicators of health and activity participation, commonly available in survey data, and within the context of a household model in which health is determined endogenously. Their estimates that take into account the simultaneity of health-activity associations indicate that increased levels of infant morbidity significantly exacerbate existing differentials in the accumulation of human capital across teenage boys and girls in Indonesia.
