Women's Inheritance Rights, Household Allocation, and Gender Bias
研究了印度改善女性土地继承权对女性教育的影响，发现改革使有地家庭的女性教育年限增加0.48年，但导致其子女（尤其是男孩）教育下降，因为受教育母亲更重视男孩的受教育机会成本。
We analyze the impact of improved land inheritance rights for women in India on female empowerment by examining their educational attainment and the intergenerational effects of the reform. Using a difference-in-differences strategy, we find that the amendment to the Hindu Succession Act significantly increased education of women from landed households by 0.48 years. However, our results indicate a significant decrease in the educational attainment of children, especially boys of treated mothers. We attribute this decrease to treated mothers who are better educated and able to assess the higher opportunity cost of education for boys.
