摘　　要：本文使用2010年全国妇女社会地位调查数据,研究作为重要心理特质的自我认同对女性家庭地位的影响。无论是在全样本,还是在按照民族、城乡和地区划分的分样本中,有序Logit模型回归结果表明,自我认同对女性家庭内部议价能力产生积极影响。分别使用倾向得分匹配和条件混合过程处理自我认同的选择性偏差和内生性问题,结果也显示自我认同增强了女性家庭内部议价能力。本文的创新之处体现在如下两个方面:一方面,这是少有的从自我认同角度解释女性家庭地位的文章。本文将女性非认知能力纳入到家庭行为的新尝试为整个经济学科的交叉研究开启了新思路,为女性一直追求的性别平等和个人发展提供了新路径。另一方面,本文关于女性家庭地位与自我认同的实证结论,能够扩展延伸到其他与中国文化背景相似的地方,从而能为那些“女性处于不利地位”的国家和地区提供重要政策启示。总体而言,本文为行为经济学领域增加了新发现,为自我认同对女性家庭地位的因果关系提供了进一步证据。This paper studies whether self-esteem as one of the important psychological traits affects women’s family status,using the data of National Survey on Women’s Social Status of China.The ordinal logit model is adopted for analysis,and the results reveal that self-esteem positively impacts women’s intra-household bargaining power both in the full sample and in the sub-samples divided by ethnicities,urban-rural locations and regions.We apply propensity score matching and conditional mixed process to handle selection bias and endogeneity of self-esteem,and the results show that self-esteem enhances women’s intra-household bargaining power.The following two contributions have been made in this paper.First,this is the first paper using selfesteem to interpreter women’s family status.The paper attempts to incorporate women’s non-cognitive abilities into family behaviors.It opens up a new train of thought for the interdisciplinary study across economic disciplines,and provides new paths for gender equality and personal development that women have been pursuing.Second,we can extend the empirical findings about women’s bargaining power and self-esteem to other places which have similar cultural backgrounds to China.Thus,it provides important policy implications for those countries and regions where women are in a disadvantaged position.Overall,we contribute to the behavioral economics and provide further evidence on the causal effect of self-esteem on women’s family status.
