Abstract
本文基于家庭协商模型从理论上分析了母亲收入的提高对子女人力资本的影响和机制。进一步, 借助于全球茶叶价格的外生变化对母亲收入的影响以及中国家庭追踪调查 (CFPS) 数据, 本文发现茶叶价格提高1%可以分别提高子女数学和字词成绩0.09个和0.05个标准差, 以及非认知能力0.13个标准差。在对影响机制进行分析时, 本文发现母亲收入提升后可以改善家庭氛围, 有助于子女非认知能力的提高。良好的家庭氛围还可以提高子女教育支出的回报率。
We try to analyze the impact and mechanism of the increase of mother's income on children's human capital in a theoretical model. Combining global price of tea and CFPS survey data, we find that an increase in mother's income incurred by a 1% increase in 0.05 standard deviations, and children's non-cognitive performance by 0.13 standard deviation. We find that an increase in mothers' income improves the relationship with their husbands, which is helpful for the development of children's non-cognitive ability and the return of educational spending.
