我们利用1996年德国儿童福利计划的改革，以确定异质性儿童福利对生育率的因果影响。虽然改革总体上增加了儿童福利，但增加的确切数额因家庭收入和子女人数而异。我们使用这些异质性，以确定其因果关系的影响，在一个差异中的差异设置的生育能力。我们应用了德国Mikrozensus的大样本和德国社会经济小组（SOEP）的丰富数据。改革对低收入夫妇的影响在统计上并不显著。我们发现一些支持高收入夫妇决定生育第二胎的积极生育影响，而不是低收入夫妇决定生育第二胎。
We exploit the 1996 reform of the German child benefit program to identify the causal effect of heterogeneous child benefits on fertility. While generally the reform increased child benefits, the exact amount of the increase varied by household income and the number of children. We use these heterogeneities to identify their causal effects on fertility in a difference-in-difference setting. We apply the large samples of the German Mikrozensus and the rich data of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The reform effects on low-income couples are not statistically significant. We find some support for positive fertility effects for higher as opposed to lower income couples deciding on a second birth.
