摘要

利用婴儿喂养实践调查（IFPS）II的数据，我们调查了女性对母乳喂养益处的信念是否会显著影响母乳喂养意愿和母乳喂养持续性。我们揭示了影响女性对母乳喂养益处的信念的因素。我们的模型考虑到了内生信念的形成，可以扩展到研究广泛的情况，包括对运动益处的信念、有机食品与传统食品的消费等。我们发现，信念对母乳喂养意愿以及第三个月和第六个月母乳喂养的可能性有非常显著的统计影响，这表明了旨在提高母乳喂养意识的教育运动的潜在作用。在母乳喂养意向模型中，信念确实是内生的，但在母乳喂养持续性模型中则不然。JEL:D13，I10，I18，J13

Beliefs about the Benefits of Breastfeeding: Formation and Effects on Breastfeeding Intention and Persistence

Using data from the Infant Feeding Practices Survey (IFPS) II, we investigate whether women’s beliefs about the benefits of breastfeeding significantly affect breastfeeding intention and breastfeeding persistence. We uncover factors that affect women’s beliefs about the benefits of breastfeeding. Our model allows for the endogenous belief formation and could be extended to study a wide range of situations, including beliefs about the benefits of exercise, organic versus conventional food consumption and so on. We find that beliefs have a highly statistically significant effect on breastfeeding intention and the likelihood of breastfeeding at the third and sixth month, which suggests the potential usefulness of educational campaigns aimed at raising breastfeeding awareness. Beliefs are indeed endogenous in the model of breastfeeding intention but not of breastfeeding persistence. JEL: D13, I10, I18, J13

期刊介绍： The explosion of information and research that has taken place in recent years has had a profound effect upon a variety of existing academic disciplines giving rise to the dissolution of barriers between some, mergers between others, and the creation of entirely new fields of enquiry.
