评论人士经常将法国自1995年以来出生率的增长与更慷慨的家庭福利联系在一起。我们在这里通过对法国女性样本的参与和生育的联合结构模型的估计和模拟，对生育率和经济激励之间的联系进行了实证研究。我们的结果表明，生育率对激励的反应是不可忽视的。然而，结果也有一些令人费解的特征：经济激励似乎对低生育水平的出生有更强的影响。
Commentators have often linked the increase in births in France since 1995 to more generous family benefits. We study here empirically the link between fertility and financial incentives by estimating and simulating a joint structural model of participation and fertility on a sample of French women. Our results suggest that fertility responds to incentives in a non-negligible way. The results, however, also have some puzzling features: financial incentives appear to have much stronger effects on low-parity births.
