As China’s depen- dency ratio increases, the health and productivity of those of working age will play key roles. So far, attention has generally focused on investments in these “working age” cohorts that occur after birth (e.g., educational invest- ments). This chapter focuses instead on the prenatal environment and its impact on health and economic outcomes in adulthood, exploiting the 1959 to 1961 Chinese famine (henceforth, “the Famine”) as a natural experiment in maternal stress and nutrition. While starvation on the scale of the Famine may seem remote, maternal malnutrition is not.

  • Online Appendix
    The Evolution of China’s One-child Policy and Its Effects on Family Outcomes* Online Appendix Junsen Zhang Junsen Zhang is the Wei Lun Professor of Economics, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong. His email address is [email protected]. 1 I. Empirical Framework The major difficulty in estimating the effect of the one-child policy is that its introduction in 1979 coincided with that of the open-door policy and economic reforms. Following Li and Zhang (2016), my empirical identification is to explore the heterogeneity of the intensity of the one-child policy implementation across provinces/prefectures. Specifically, I construct a measure based on the excess births of each province/prefecture conditional on initial births and other variables. The important variable in my analysis is the excess fertility rate (EFR), which is defined as below: !(����ℎ!" ∙ 1(���!" ≥ 2) ∙ 1(25 ≤ ���!" ≤ 44)) ���! = !(1(���!" ≥ 1) ∙ 1(25 ≤ ���!" ≤ 44)) − !(����ℎ!" ∙ 1(���!" = 1) ∙ 1(25 ≤ ���!" ≤ 44)) where Birth!" is a dummy indicator for woman i, within an age range of 25-44 years old, in prefecture j giving a birth in 1981, and NSC!" is the number of surviving children of women i in prefecture j by the end of 1981. In other words, the EFR in a prefecture here is defined as the percentage of Han mothers (i.e. women with at least one surviving child) aged 25-44 in the 1982 census who gave a higher order birth in 1981. Using the EFR to represent the extent of violation of the one-child policy in prefecture j, I can further examine the effect of the policy on various family outcome variables.

  • The Fundamental Cartographical Technology of Ancient China ─ Forward Intersection
    THE FUNDAMENTAL CARTOGRAPHICAL TECHNOLOGY OF ANCIENT CHINA ─ FORWARD INTERSECTION Zilan WANG1 Keling WANG Institute of History and Philosophy of Science University of Wuhan P.R.China Email: [email protected] Institute of Historical Geography University of Wuhan P.R.China Most available ancient Chinese maps were not based on field survey but were compiled indoor using direct or indirect travel and exploration records. The map preparation process can be roughly divided into the following steps. Firstly, the position of a geographical object is marked on the sketch map using its orientation and distance. The orientation data is based on the 8-orientation system in which the circumference is divided into 8 parts. The distance data is mainly based on the Chinese distance unit “Li”, but a smaller unit “Bu” will be used for detailed description. Secondly, the rectification by “intersection” method is carried out in order to minimize the errors in the relative positions of a geographical object caused by the intrinsic “roughness” of the aforementioned spatial model. This “intersection” rectification method, which is similar to the “forward intersection” in modern survey technology, was analyzed in this article from three angles: (1) the simulation study of the 2nd century B.C. survey map “Mawang Dui Map”, (2) the analysis of the traditional survey theory recorded in Zhou Bi Suan Jing and Jiu Zhang Suan Shu (including Liu Hui’s annotation of the latter), and (3) the new interpretation of the Fei Niao model proposed by Shen Kuo. In addition, travel records of “intersection” observation and the technique and historical background of forward intersection were found in related historical and geographical documents.

  • Peer Migration in China
    Peer Migration in China Yuyu Chen Peking University, Guanghua School of Management Ginger Zhe Jin University of Maryland & NBER Yang Yue Xiamen University October 4, 2018 Abstract With 280 million rural laborers migrating to the city in 2017, China is experiencing the largest internal migration in the human history. Using instrumental variables in the 2006 China Agricultural Census, we find that a 10-percentage-point increase in the migration rate of co- villagers raises one's migration probability by 9.18 percent points. Both information exchange at the origin and cost reduction at the destination could explain migration cluster in age, destination, and occupation. However, migration has little effect on the agricultural productivity of non- migrants, probably because labor redundancy is severe at the origin and migrants are more likely of high productivity.

Peer Migration in China Yuyu Chen, Ginger Zhe Jin, and Yang Yue NBER Working Paper No. 15671 January 2010, Revised September 2010 JEL No. J6,O12,R23 ABSTRACT We aim to quantify the role of social networks in job-related migration.

Using instrumental variables in the 2006 China Agricultural Census, we find that a 10-percentage-point increase in the migration rate of co-villagers raises one's migration probability by 7.27 percent points, an effect comparable to an increase of education by 7-8 years.
