The Impact of Education on Fertility and Child Mortality: Do Fathers Really Matter Less Than Mothers?
Open accessAbstract
This paper takes advantage of a massive school construction program that took place in Indonesia between 1973 and 1978 to estimate the effect of education on fertility and child mortality.Time and region varying exposure to the school construction program generates instrumental variables for the average education in the household, and the difference in education between husband and wife.We show that female education is a stronger determinant of age at marriage and early fertility than male education.However, female and male education seem equally important factors in reducing child mortality.We suggest that the OLS estimate of the differential effect of women's and men's education may be biased by failure to take in to account assortative matching.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
