This article tests whether parents reinforce or compensate for child endowments. We estimate how the difference in birth weight
across siblings impacts specific parental investments: breast-feeding, well-baby visits, immunizations, and preschool attendance.
Our results indicate that normal-birth-weight children are 5%–11% more likely to receive early childhood parental investments
than their low-birth-weight siblings. Moreover, the presence of additional low-birth-weight siblings in the household increases
the likelihood of investments such as well-baby visits and immunizations for normal-birth-weight children. These results suggest
that parental investments in early childhood tend to reinforce endowment differences. 相似文献

The theoretical and empirical literature on parental investment focuses on whether child-specific parental investments reinforce
or compensate for a child’s initial endowments. However, many parental investments, such as neighborhood quality and family
size and structure, are shared wholly or in part among all children in a household. The empirical results of this paper imply
that such household parental investments compensate for low endowments, as proxied by low birth weight.
