"In this study we use data from rural India to examine the impact of the birth of a boy relative to the birth of a girl (i.e., the ¿gender shock') on the savings, consumption and income of rural Indian households. We find that the gender shock reduces savings for medium and large farm households, although there is no evidence that the shock affects savings for the landless and the small farm households. We also estimate the effect of the shock on income and consumption for the former group in order to determine the source of the drop in savings."
在本研究中，我们使用来自印度农村的数据，来检验相对于女孩出生（即“性别冲击”）而言男孩出生对印度农村家庭储蓄、消费和收入的影响。我们发现，这种性别冲击会减少中型和大型农户的储蓄，不过没有证据表明这种冲击会影响无地农户和小型农户的储蓄。我们还估计了这种冲击对前一组农户收入和消费的影响，以确定储蓄下降的根源。
