Women’s Inheritance Rights and Intergenerational Transmission of Resources in India
利用三代人的继承数据，评估印度《印度教继承法》修正案赋予女儿平等继承权的影响，发现修正案显著提高了女儿继承土地的可能性，但偏见仍存，同时女儿教育水平提升，暗示了财富转移的替代渠道。
We use inheritance patterns over three generations of individuals to assess the impact of changes in the Hindu Succession Act that grant daughters equal coparcenary birth rights in joint family property that were denied to daughters in the past. We show that the amendment significantly increased daughters' likelihood to inherit land, but that even after the amendment, substantial bias persists. Our results also indicate a robust increase in educational attainment of daughters, suggesting an alternative channel of wealth transfer.
