父母会塑造孩子对养老的偏好吗？ Becker (1993)推测孝道的灌输增加了父母对孩子人力资本的投资。我们通过将双胞胎自然实验与中国的独生子女政策相结合，获得了儿童性别构成的外生变化，为父母向孩子灌输孝道提供了第一个实证证据。在不同的孝道灌输模式中，我们的实证结果支持贝克尔的利他主义灌输模式，其中父母向收入较高的孩子寻求支持。
Do parents forge children's preference for old-age support? Becker (1993) conjectures that the inculcation of filial piety increases parents' investment in children's human capital. We provide the first empirical evidence on parents' instilling of filial piety in children, by combining the natural experiment of twins with China's One-Child Policy to obtain exogenous variations in children's gender composition. Among the different models of filial-piety inculcation, our empirical results favour a Beckerian model of altruism inculcation in which parents solicit support from the child with a higher earnings endowment.
