摘要

一个新兴的文献发现,童年暴露于不良事件决定了成人的结果和行为。我们扩展了这项研究,以了解印度尼西亚儿童时期目睹兄弟姐妹死亡对随后的教育和生育结果的影响。使用面板数据和兄弟姐妹固定效应模型,我们根据同一家庭中幸存子女年龄的变化确定了这种关系。我们的研究结果有力地支持了不良童年经历的重要性和持久性。特别是对幸存的姐妹而言,目睹兄弟姐妹死亡会减少完成教育的年数和完成中学教育的可能性。对幸存的兄弟们的影响则更小。造成这一结果的一个潜在原因是女性通过改变生育行为来应对。虽然幸存的兄弟姐妹死亡对期望的生育水平影响不大,但我们发现有证据表明,幸存的姐妹会提前3-4年组建家庭。这表明,针对生命早期结果的干预措施可能会产生重要的连锁反应,而卫生干预措施的全面影响可能要到几十年后才能显现出来

The Educational and Fertility Effects of Sibling Deaths
An emerging literature finds that childhood exposure to adverse events determines adult outcomes and behavior. We extend this research to understand the influence of witnessing a sibling death as a child on subsequent educational and fertility outcomes in Indonesia. Using panel data and a sibling fixed effects model, we identify this relationship based on variation in the age of surviving children within the same family. Our findings strongly support the importance and persistence of adverse childhood experiences. In particular, for surviving sisters, witnessing a sibling death reduces the years of completed education and the likelihood of completing secondary schooling. The effect on surviving brothers is more muted. A potential channel for this result is that women respond by changing their fertility behavior. While surviving the death of a sibling has little effect on desired fertility levels, we find evidence that surviving sisters start a family about 3-4 years earlier. This suggests that interventions targeted at early-life outcomes may have important ripple effects and that the full impact of health interventions may not be visible until decades afterwards
