Research Highlights

Fertility Restrictions and Life Cycle Outcomes

Exposure to stricter fertility restrictions when young leads to higher education levels, more white-collar jobs, delayed marriage, and lower fertility rates.

The Power of Social Pension

Among age-eligible people, China’s New Rural Pension Scheme (NRPS) leads to higher household income and food expenditure, less farmwork, better health, and lower mortality.

Exposure to Health Insurance in Early Life

We find that a longer time exposure to health insurance leads to higher education and healthier status among rural girls.   

Consumption Responses to Pension Changes

The event study yields an estimate of marginal propensity to consume (MPC) being 0.64 to 0.78 for permanent income but 0.05 to 0.12 for transitory income.
