题目:One-Child Policy, Marriage Distortion, and Welfare Loss
摘要:Using plausibly exogenous variations in the ethnicity-specific assigned birth quotas and different fertility penalties across provinces over time, we provide new evidence for the transferable utility model by showing China`s One-Child Policy induced a significantly higher unmarried rate among the population and more interethnic marriages. Using sufficient statistic approach, we further find that the welfare loss caused by the fertility policy, in terms of reduced fertility and marriage distortion, is around 4.9 percent of annual household income, with marriage distortion contributing 17 percent of this. These findings highlight the unintended behavioral responses to public policies and corresponding social consequences.
