题目一：Property Rights, Labor Reallocation, and Gender Inequality in Rural China
摘要：This study examines the gender-differentiated effects of improved land property rights on labor reallocation using quasi-exogenous variation in the timing of the implementation of the Rural Land Contracting Law in China, which allows farmers to lease out their land. We find that while both men and women tend to shift their labor away from the agricultural sector and into non-agricultural sectors following the land reform, women lag behind men, with a noticeable gender gap in the days worked in off-farm sectors (+28.1% among men; +12.6% among women). This gender-differentiated effect of improved property rights is mainly driven by higher household income, which make women withdraw from employment as a way of intrahousehold reallocation. We do not find evidence for other mechanisms for women, including higher mobility costs, shrinking labor demand, gender gaps in human capital, or gender identity norms. These findings suggest that implementing land reforms without accompanying reforms to address the root causes of the gendered difference in off-farm employment would limit the potential of the reform benefit. This study has significant policy implications for developing countries in rural transformation.

题目二：互联网使用能否提高农村女性家庭决策权？
主讲人：张倩倩，博士生
摘要：家庭内部权力的缺失是影响女性地位的重要原因。本文以家庭联合决策模型为基础，构建家庭决策权指数，利用中国西部欠发达地区的农户调查数据，考察互联网使用对农村女性家庭决策权的影响及其内在机制。研究发现，互联网使用能够显著提高农村女性的家庭决策权。年龄在45-59周岁、小学教育水平、中低收入、家庭中没有少儿、未外出务工、参与农业就业的农村女性，其互联网使用对家庭决策权的提升作用更加明显。进一步的分析表明，提高经济独立性、增强社会联结是互联网使用提升农村女性家庭决策权的重要途径。本研究为增进了解中国农村家庭内部的决策权提供了一个新的角度和思路，对鼓励农村女性自我发展、改善农村女性家庭地位具有借鉴意义。
题目三：抚养负担对农户收入及收入质量的影响
主讲人：邵美婷，博士生
摘要：本文利用2019年中国农村家庭追踪调查数据，从微观视角考察抚养负担对农户收入和收入质量的影响。实证结果发现，抚养负担显著降低了农户收入和收入质量，从收入结构看，抚养负担对农户经营收入、财产性收入的负面作用更强；从收入质量不同维度看，抚养负担不利于农户收入的稳定增长与结构优化。机制分析表明，抚养负担通过抑制土地流转、非农就业来影响农户收入增加与质量提升，而完善的社会服务在一定程度上能够缓解抚养负担对农户收入及收入质量的不利影响。因此，本文提出应提高农村社会服务供给质量，以有效缓解抚养负担带来的负面影响，促进农民增收。
题目四：Faster to fatter? The effect of online food delivery on obesity
主讲人：马宝杰，博士生
摘要：This paper investigates the causal effect of online food delivery (OFD) service on body weight by leveraging a unique natural experiment: the staggered introduction of OFD platform across China cities. Based on the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) panel data over 2010-2018, we find that the rollout of OFD platform in a city has no significant effect on individuals’ body mass index and overweight, but it significantly promotes individuals’ obesity. Specifically, the probability of individuals being obese increased by 3.82% on average after the OFD platform entry. We also find evidence that these impacts can be explained in part by a variety of eating behaviors, including eating more fried food and pickled food, especially for individuals with weight at the lower boundary of obesity. Additional evidence on heterogeneous suggest younger, less educated and unmarried individuals are affected more by the OFD service.
