摘要

本研究考察了反腐败对移民模式和家庭福利的影响。通过利用中国反腐败运动在不同腐败程度的县之间的不同效果，我们采用了强度差中差方法。我们的研究结果显示，由于这场运动，劳动力外流显著下降，尤其是在农村家庭中。在腐败最严重的县，一个家庭的移民数量比腐败最轻的县减少了0.4个单位。确定了该运动可能影响移徙的三个机制：增加政府补贴、提高对收入的满意度和加强社会认同。然而，基础设施方面的切实改善微乎其微。此外，移民的减少与留守儿童的减少以及健康和学业成绩的改善有关。老年人也从子女那里得到更多的照顾，并在活动后表现出更好的健康状况。

The impact of anti-corruption on migration and family welfare

This study examines the impact of anti-corruption on migration patterns and family welfare. By leveraging the varying effects of China's anti-corruption campaign across counties with different pre-existing corruption levels, we apply an intensity Difference-in-Differences approach. Our findings reveal a significant decline in labor outflows attributed to the campaign, especially in rural households. The reduction in the number of migrants within a family in the most corrupt counties is about 0.4 units greater compared to the least corrupt counties post-campaign. Three mechanisms are identified through which the campaign may influence migration: increased government subsidies, enhanced satisfaction with income, and reinforced social identity. However, tangible improvements in infrastructure are minimal. Additionally, the reduction in migration correlates with fewer left-behind children, and improved health and academic outcomes. The elderly also receive increased care from their children and exhibit better health post-campaign.
