近些年来,有关男女平等的话题讨论反映了女性在我国教育领域的优势。已有研究多从女性的教育投入回报较高来解释这一现象,忽视了住房在其中发挥的作用。在我国,房价的大幅上涨与女性在高校在校生中的比例上涨在时间上保持了惊人的一致。因此,从家庭住房资产的角度来分析女性教育优势,对于理解家庭教育投资决策和行为具有重要意义。文章基于中国家庭金融调查(CHFS)两期面板数据的研究发现:第一,对于只有女孩的家庭,住房价格的上涨会通过“财富效应”促进对子代的教育支出的增加;第二,“遗赠动机”的存在使得生育男孩抑制了住房对子代教育支出的“财富效应”,导致家庭住房的升值无法显著地增加子代教育支出,使得女性子代获得了更多的教育支出,进而形成了女性在教育领域的优势。
