标题： Women's inheritance rights reforms and impact on women's empowerment: evidence from India

摘要： 本文探讨了印度继承权对女性赋权的影响。 我们采用准自然实验框架，其中五个州在1976年至1994年间修订了《印度继承法》（HSA），在2005年全国修订之前。 此外，我们应用差异中的差异（DID）策略，并考虑三角验证方法来识别女性赋权指标，即：资源获取、能动性和结果，以衡量赋权的不同维度。 使用印度人类发展调查（IHDS-I），我们的结果表明对婚姻选择、亲密伴侣暴力、身体和公民自主性有积极影响。 然而，对家庭自主性有负面影响，对女性的经济参与没有显著影响。 此外，探讨了社会经济地位、地理位置、州内父权制程度以及家庭户主性别等方面的异质性。 总体而言，该研究强调了继承法的影响在不同群体中并不一致。 显示英文摘要

摘要： This paper explores the influence of inheritance rights on women' empowerment in India. We employ the quasi-natural experiment framework wherein; five states amended the Hindu Succession Act (HSA) from 1976 to 1994 before it was federally amended in 2005. Further, we apply difference-in-difference (DID) strategy and consider triangulation approach to identify women empowerment indicators namely: access to resources, agency, and outcomes to measure varying dimensions of empowerment. Using the India Human Development Survey (IHDS-I), our results indicate a positive impact on marriage choice, intimate partner violence, physical, and civil autonomy. However, negative impact on household autonomy and no significant on economic participation for women exposed to state amendments. Further, exploring the heterogeneities in terms of socio-economic status, location, level of patriarchy in a state, gender of the head of the household. Overall, the study highlights that the impact of inheritance law is not unfirm across different groups.
