摘要

本文通过基于 2006 年中国住房市场政策的回归不连续设计，研究了住房财富对生育结果的影响。我们的分析表明，该政策对住房财富的积极影响显著提高了 7.3% 的生育可能性。我们的结果意味着，住房财富每增加 1%，生育率就会提高 0.18%。此外，我们还观察到，在住房财富受到积极冲击后出生的儿童不仅在出生时，而且在长期内都会表现出健康状况的改善。最后，我们提出了一些提示性证据，表明父母出生前的时间分配和父母的健康状况可能有助于解释所记录的住房财富对生育率的积极影响。

Housing wealth, fertility and children's health in China: A regression discontinuity design

This paper examines the influence of housing wealth on fertility outcomes through a regression discontinuity design based on a 2006 Chinese housing-market policy. Our analysis reveals that the positive impact of this policy on housing wealth significantly enhances the likelihood of fertility by 7.3 %. Our result implies that a 1 % increase in housing wealth can raise the fertility rate by 0.18 %. Furthermore, we observe that children born subsequent to the positive housing wealth shock exhibit improved health, not only at birth but also over the long term. Lastly, we present suggestive evidence suggesting that both parental pre-birth time allocation and parental health may help explain the documented positive effects of housing wealth on fertility rates.
