Heterogeneity, Intrafamily Distribution, and Child Health
构建动态家庭内分配模型，利用哥伦比亚村庄数据，分析生育间隔、人均食物消费、接种和母乳喂养对儿童年龄标准化体重的影响，并估计家庭内外的资源分配与生育决策对健康差异的响应。
A dynamic IOOdel of intrahousehold allocative behavior incorporating variations in and uncertainty about individual child charccteristics is foIIDUlated to ascertain how both the timing of childbearing and child-specific allocations vary with exogenoosly-determined houseoold and child-si;:ecific health characteristics and to assess the implications of such dynamic behavior for the estimation of the behavioral determinants of child health.Lon:3itudinal data on children and households f ran a village in Colari:>ia are used to cant:are the sensitivity of estimates to assurrptions about heterogeneity with resi;:ect to birth spacing and timing, i;:er-capita food o::>nsumption, innoculations, and the incidence of breastfeeding on the age-standardized weight of children at two life-cycle points and to estimate intra-family and inter-family resource allocation and fertility responses to inherent health variations.
