Abstract

This paper investigates whether parental decisions to invest in education of their disabled children are driven by equality or efficiency. Even if parents are inequality averse, they may still choose to invest more in nondisabled children than in disabled children if there are additional costs of parental inputs associated with disability. I show that variation in family size and children’s disabilities can be used to infer whether parents are averse to inequality, exploiting the fact that parents of single children cannot possibly exhibit inequality aversion. Using Mexican cross-sectional data, I show that equality is important for parental investments in education.

父母人力资本投资对儿童残疾的反应

本文调查了父母投资残疾儿童教育的决定是由平等还是效率驱动的。即使父母反对不平等，如果父母投入与残疾相关的额外成本，他们仍然可能选择更多地投资于非残疾儿童，而不是残疾儿童。我发现，家庭规模和儿童残疾的变化可以用来推断父母是否反对不平等，利用单身儿童的父母不可能表现出对不平等的厌恶这一事实。利用墨西哥的横断面数据，我表明平等对父母在教育方面的投资很重要。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
