Gender Differences in Land Inheritance, Schooling and Lifetime Income: Evidence from the Rural Philippines
研究了菲律宾农村父母在土地继承和子女教育投资上的性别偏好，发现儿子多得0.15公顷土地，女儿多得1.5年教育，但终身收入无显著差异，表明父母通过代际转移实现子女收入均等化。
"This article examines the difference in lifetime incomes arising from parental preferences in the allocation of land inheritance and investments in schooling between sons and daughters in the rural Philippines. Sons are preferred with respect to land inheritance, receiving 0.15 additional hectares of land, while daughters are treated more favourably in schooling investments, receiving 1.5 more years of schooling. However, differences in both current and life-cycle incomes between sons and daughters are insignificant. This suggests that Filipino parents allocate intergenerational transfers to equalise incomes among their children, without sacrificing efficiency." -- Authors' Abstract
