We find, even in those situations where the one-child policy is not in effect, that wealth increases do not lead to increased fertility in urban areas, and have only a minuscule effect in the rural areas. However, a rise in housing wealth leads to increased expenditure on the education of children for households in both rural and urban areas (although different types of expenditure) and increased height of children in rural areas. Following Becker (1960), increased wealth shifts the tradeoff between child quality and quantity in favor of the former.<\/p><p><em>This paper was awarded the 2021 Global Social Science Institute Best Paper Award at the Asian Real Estate Society 2021 Annual Conference.<\/em><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><!-- PDF DownloadLink --><\/p><p class=\"download\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/v25-no1-1_Housing-Wealth-Fertility-Child-Quality.pdf\"><strong>View PDF -https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53383\/100334<\/strong><\/a><\/p><div class=\"empty\">\u00a0<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><p class=\"abstract_label\">Keywords<\/p><p><!-- Keywords --><\/p><div><p class=\"p1\">China, fertility, wealth, housing values, one child policy, quality-quantity tradeoff<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Housing Wealth, Fertility, and Child Quality Author Start Page \/ End Page Volume Issue Number Year Publication Mingzhe Tang,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"article-template.php","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[231,230],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3448"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3448"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4667,"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3448\/revisions\/4667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gssinst.org\/irer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
