dc.description.abstractWe analyze Engel curves for nuclear households in rural China. The sample includes more than5000 nuclear families covering nineteen out of thirty Chinese provinces. We considerexpenditures on food, also subdivided into several food subcategories such as cereals, or meatand fish, and other consumption categories such as alcohol and tobacco, medical, andeducational goods. We use the semiparametric partially linear model. This allows for anyfunctional form relationship between the budget shares and total expenditures, but assumes thatthe demographic variables enter the model in a linear way. We correct for potential endogeneityof total expenditures. Our results suggest that there are economies of scale in families?consumption expenditure patterns. We find some differences in consumption patterns whichrelate to differences in gender of children, which can be seen as evidence of sexual bias relatedto a commonly believed existing preference for boys.en
