Abstract

Child quality plays a critical role in economic models of fertility and child investment. But child quality is difficult to observe empirically. Therefore in empirical studies child quality is frequently represented by child schooling. However economic models of household investment in children suggest that child schooling may be a very poor or even inverse proxy for child quality. (EXCERPT)
