Labor Pain Relief and Women’s Evaluations of Childbearing
As governments respond to fertility decline with pronatalist policies centered on economic and childcare support, childbirth itself remains undertheorized as an embodied and gendered experience. This study contributes to fertility research and maternal health scholarship by documenting unmet demand for labor pain relief in China and examining how access to pain management shapes women’s evaluations of whether conditions are favorable for having a…
Privatization and patriarchy
This study investigates how work transitions during China's post-1978 market-oriented economic restructuring reshaped gender relations and reinforced patriarchal beliefs—particularly by strengthening patrilineal inheritance and son preference. Drawing on Engels's private property–monogamy thesis, I argue that the privatization of means of production during China's market transition reintroduced inheritance concerns that had receded in the pre-ref…
Information on income concentration and redistribution preferences
In recent decades, income inequality has soared in the United States, but few studies utilize experimental methodologies to assess whether having reliable information on income concentration affects the formation of redistribution attitudes. We advance this emerging literature through an analysis of information on the income owned by the top 1% of the income distribution – a group that is socio-politically meaningful and axial to the recent rise …
A long view of social mobility in Scotland and the role of economic changes
Changes in the social mobility of men in Scotland between the late-19th and the late-twentieth century are examined using new individual-level data from nineteenth-century censuses, linking records of men aged 0-19 in 1871 to their records in 1901, and then comparing their patterns with the social mobility of men aged 30-49 in 1974 and in 2001 as recorded in social surveys at these dates. The extent of social mobility in the nineteenth century wa…
A Holistic Approach to Family Life Course Change across 1930-1978 Chinese Birth Cohorts
Family formation in China has undergone dramatic changes. Despite increasing academic attention, few studies have taken a holistic approach to study cohort change in Chinese family life courses. In this study, we assess how family life course patterns and diversity changed across 1930-1978 birth cohorts. Moreover, we evaluate to what extent changing norms, economic constraints, and institutional reforms drove cohort differences. Data from the Chi…
Hazard Versus Linear Probability Difference-in-Differences Estimators for Demographic Processes
This study examines the properties of the linear probability difference-in-differences estimator when the data are in fact generated by a single-decrement, continuous-time hazard process. We focus on the textbook case of two groups and two periods in which the control and treatment groups are observed before and after treatment. We provide formal derivations and illustrate matters concretely by reexamining economic studies that have relied on the…
Does perceived social mobility shape attitudes toward government and family educational investment
Who Coresides With Parents? An Analysis Based on Sibling Comparative Advantage
Coresidence between elderly parents and their married adult children is common in East Asian societies. We analyze theoretically and empirically with which adult child parents coreside when the extended family has multiple adult children, and we show that this decision-making process can be rationalized. Specifically, we find evidence that suggests division of labor among family members through the choice of coresidence. Theoretically, we show th…
