我们研究了阿根廷和墨西哥的生育率对母亲劳动力供应的影响，利用了由Angrist和Evans首先提出的家庭规模的外源性变异性来源[Angrist，J.，埃文斯，W.，1998.儿童及其父母的劳动力供给：来自家庭规模外生变化的证据。美国经济评论88（3），450-577]。我们发现，对美国的估计可以从质量和数量上推广到两个发展中国家的人口中，与美国相比，生育率较高，女性教育水平低得多，正规的托儿设施较少。(c)2005 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
we study the effect of fertility on maternal labor supply in Argentina and Mexico exploiting a source of exogenous variability in family size first introduced by Angrist and Evans [Angrist, J., Evans, W., 1998. Children and their parents' labor supply: evidence from exogenous variation in family size. American Economic Review 88 (3), 450-577] for the United States. We find that the estimates for the US can be generalized both qualitatively and quantitatively to the populations of two developing countries where, compared to the US, fertility is known to be higher, female education levels are much lower and there are fewer formal facilities for childcare.
