abstract: 'This study investigates how traditional patrilineal family institution

  influences women''s income through fertility behavior by offering

  evidence from family lineage (zongzu) in China. We hypothesize that

  family with strong lineage-proxied by owning genealogy-has a negative

  effect on women''s income through the son-targeting fertility behavior.

  Using a difference-in-differences strategy, this study confirms the

  hypothesis. Relative to the women whose first child is a son, the women

  marring into families owning genealogy indeed have more children and

  lower income, if their first child is a daughter. In contrast, such

  finding does not hold for the male sample. Preliminary evidence suggests

  that shorter work time can explain the findings.'
