本文探讨了菲律宾农村两代家庭中父母对土地分配和子女教育投资的偏好。在老一辈中，受过良好教育的父亲更愿意为儿子的教育投资，而拥有土地的母亲则优先将土地赠与女儿。虽然在父母资源方面的性别偏好在儿童一代已经消失，但在土地继承方面更倾向于儿子，而在教育投资方面更倾向于女儿。(JEL问题24）
This paper examines the preferences of parents with respect to the allocation of land and investments in schooling between sons and daughters in two generations of households in the rural Philippines. In the older generation, better-educated fathers prefer to invest in sons’ schooling, while land-owning mothers preferentially bestow land to daughters. While gender preference in relation to parental resources has disappeared in the child generation, sons are preferred with respect to land inheritance, while daughters are treated more favorably in schooling investments.
