Abstract
This paper analyzes the influence of income distribution on fertility behavior
using the Chinese provincial data mainly taken from the 1982 Population Census
of China. The existing evidence on this important issue is inconclusive. In particular,
our use of cross-province data for a single country improves upon the existing
literature which employed either cross-country data or individual household data.
