摘要

我们研究了高等教育平权行动对儿童营养结果的代际影响。我们的研究背景是印度，在印度，我们利用了一项政策，即在高等教育中为社会弱势的 "其他落后阶层 "保留名额。我们发现，接受高等教育的母亲的子女发育迟缓的可能性较小。对女儿的影响更为明显。受访母亲的教育水平更高，自主性更强，这可能是导致这些结果的原因。

Intergenerational effects of affirmative action in higher education: Evidence from India

We study the intergenerational effects of affirmative action in higher education on children's nutritional outcomes. Our context is India, where we exploit a policy-induced introduction of reservation of seats in higher education for the socially disadvantaged Other Backward Classes. We find that children of exposed mothers are less likely to be stunted. The effect is more pronounced for daughters. Higher levels of education and greater autonomy amongst treated mothers plausibly drive these results.

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
