Like Father, Like Son; Like Mother, Like Daughter: Parental Resources and Child Height.
Thomas, Duncan
Journal of Human Resources, v29 n4 p950-88 Fall 1994
Survey data from the United States, Brazil, and Ghana revealed that, in all three, mothers' education had a greater effect on daughters' height, fathers' education on sons' height. There appear to be differences in the allocation of household resources, nutrition, and child rearing that are dependent on children's and parents' gender. (SK)
