Large Demographic Shocks and Small Changes in the Marriage Market This paper provides non-parametric estimates of the total effects of famine in China on marital behavior of famine affected cohorts in rural areas of Sichuan and Anhui. The reduced form estimates incorporate general equilibrium and heterogeneous treatment effects, two important components of equilibrium marital behavior. Next the...
متن کاملLarge Shocks and Small Changes in the Marriage Market for Famine Born Cohorts in China
Between 1958 and 1961, China experienced one of its worst famines in history. Birth rates plummeted during these years, but recovered immediately afterwards.

This e¤ect has been substantial in many Asian countries earlier, and continues to be...

We document a strong and negative relationship between changes in cohort size and marriage rates for both women and men. We provide the most convincing evidence on this relationship by using variation in cohort size due to differences across states in sale bans on oral contraceptives. This empirical pattern is puzzling if interpreted using insights derived from the previous literature and stand...
