这篇文章检验了早期经历对子女时间偏好的因果影响。文章使用的随机入户实验覆盖了近500个生活在中国农村的家庭,旨在改善父母对子女养育的观念和方式。经过三年的追访,我们发现这项实验提高了学龄前儿童的耐心。我们还发现这项干预改善了父母的教养方式,但是对其他可能的影响因素没有显著作用。这篇文章的发现支持了发展心理学的观点,即父母的教养方式是子女时间偏好的决定因素。异质性分析表明早期干预的作用效果在女孩、留守儿童、经济社会高和家教轻松的家庭、低高认知儿童中更加显著。
We test the causal impact of early childhood experiences on children’s time preference. The randomized home visiting program is aimed at improving caregivers’ knowledge of child development and child-rearing practices. Analyzing the impact of a weekly home visiting program for approximately 500 households living in poor rural villages in China, we find a significantly positive impact on preschool children’s patience measured two years after treatment. The intervention has a significant and lasting impact on parenting style but no persistent effect on other likely intermediating factors. Our findings are consistent with the literature in developmental psychology, which suggests child-rearing practices such as parenting style is a major determinant of children’s time preference. We also find the impact of the early childhood intervention on children’s patience is more prominent if the treated samples are girls, left-behind children cared by grandparents, children in families with high socioeconomic status and less harsh parenting style, and children of high cognition.
