我们研究了日本的性别偏好，使用日本的微观数据，并发现在1920-1939年的队列的父母有一个字典的儿子偏好。此外，词典儿子的偏好消失在随后的队列和混合的偏好是观察到的父母有两个孩子。当考虑到父母的社会经济背景时，这些结果得到了支持。观察到了弱化儿子偏好和新兴混合偏好等队列效应。此外，当丈夫是长子时，仅在1920-1939年的队列中观察到字典上的儿子偏好，尽管当丈夫是农民/自营职业者时，这种偏好在随后的队列中仍然存在。
We examine the sex preference in Japan, using Japanese microdata, and find that parents in the 1920–1939 cohort have a lexicographic son preference. Further, the lexicographic son preference disappears in subsequent cohorts and a mixed preference is observed in parents with two children. These results are supported when the parents’ socioeconomic background is considered. Cohort effects such as weakening son preference and emerging mixed preference are observed. Moreover, when husbands are the eldest sons, a lexicographic son preference is observed only in the 1920–1939 cohort, although it persists in the subsequent cohorts when husbands are farmers/self-employed workers.
