Abstract: | 本研究主要探討出生體重的隔代移轉效果是否存在,以及其與社經地位的互動關係。我們使用台灣的出生登記資料(1978-2006),以1998至2006年出生的人作為第三代,1978至1985出生的人作為第二代,後者的父母為第一代。除了使用祖母的固定效果模型(fixed effect model),比較姊妹的出生體重差異對於小孩出生體重之影響,我們也使用雙胞胎資料,以控制更多的內生變數。實證結果顯示,父母的出生體重對於小孩的出生體重有顯著、正向的影響,如果父母的出生體重低於2500公克,則孩子的出生體重低於2500公克之機率較高,且母親的出生體重相較於父親的出生體重對於小孩的出生體重的影響較大。出生體重的隔代移轉效果與家庭的社經地位也存在著互動關係,高貧窮地區相對於低貧窮地區,低出生體重的隔代移轉效果較大。 We use unique Taiwan Birth Registry Records to study the intergenerational transmission in birth weight and whether it varies with socioeconomic status.We find that there is a strong intergenerational correlation in birth weight even when we make the sibling comparison.The probability for an infant to have a low birth weight is significantly higher if his mother/father also has a low birth weight. Also,maternal birth weight has a greater impact on infant's birth weight than does paternal birth weight.Whether the infant is born in high poverty does not significantly influence his birthweight,but there exists a significant interaction between socioeconomic status and maternal birth weight in low birth weight models.The intergenerational transmission in low birth weight is stronger if the infant is born into a high poverty zip code. |
