This article uses the Bangladesh famine of 1974 as a natural experiment to estimate the impact of intrauterine malnutrition on sex of the child and infant mortality. In addition, we estimate the impact of malnutrition on post-famine pregnancy outcomes. Using the 1996 Matlab Health and Socioeconomic Survey (MHSS), we find that women who were pregnant during the famine were less likely to have male children. Moreover, children who were in utero during the most severe period of the Bangladesh famine were 32 % more likely to die within one month of birth compared with their siblings who were not in utero during the famine. Finally, we estimate the impacts of the famine on subsequent pregnancy outcomes. Controlling for pre-famine fertility, we find that women who were pregnant during the famine experienced a higher number of stillbirths in the post-famine years. This increase appears to be driven by an excess number of male stillbirths. 相似文献

This study is the first to investigate the economic factors behind the recent rise of the one-child family in the United States. Using longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) that runs from 1968 to 2013 and a variety of different model specifications with state and year fixed effect, including logistic regression, linear probability, and Cox proportional hazard models, the study examined the effect of absolute income volatility on the decision of having an only-child family. The study found that an increase in the standard deviation of income is associated with a decrease in the probability of having a second child for mothers who are in the second quartile of income distribution. 相似文献

The problem of comparing some known distributions in various types of stochastic orderings has been of interest to many authors. In particular, several authors have been recently concerned with the comparison of Poisson, binomial, and negative binomial distributions with their respective mixtures. Incidentally, these distributions are among the four well-known distributions of the family of generalized power series distributions (GPSD's). The remaining distribution is the logarithmic series distribution. In this paper, we shall be concerned with comparing this remaining distribution of the class GPSD with its mixture in terms of various types of stochastic orderings such as the simple stochastic, likelihood ratio, uniformly more variable, convex, hazard rate and expectation orderings. Derivation of the results in this case prove to be computationally trickier than the other three. The special case when the means of the two distributions are the same is also discussed. Finally, an illustrative explicit example is provided. 相似文献
