摘要

本文研究了1986年至1994年间在印度四个邦实施的女性继承权的引入如何影响儿童的教育成就和劳动力参与。1956年的《印度继承法》(Hindu Succession Act)规定了男女儿童平等的继承权，通过调查各州对该法案的时变修正案，我发现改革导致儿童完成小学教育的概率更高，而参与劳动力的概率更低。通过三重差异分析，我发现这些结果在印度教儿童中更为明显，特别是印度教女性和生活在农村地区的印度教儿童。

Inheritance Laws, Educational Attainment, and Child Labor: Evidence from Indian States

This paper examines how the introduction of female inheritance rights, implemented in four Indian states between 1986 and 1994, affected educational achievement and labor force participation of children. Investigating time-varying state amendments to the Hindu Succession Act of 1956, which provided equal inheritance rights to male and female children, I find that reforms led to greater probability of primary school completion and lower probability of labor force participation for children. Performing a triple-difference analysis, I find that these results are larger for Hindu children, specifically Hindu females and Hindu children living in rural areas.

JHC encompasses microeconomic, macroeconomic, and international economic perspectives on the theme of human capital. The journal offers a platform for discussion of topics ranging from education, labor, health, and family economics.
