摘要：
Using microdata from a field survey of children in rural Andhra Pradesh, India, we estimate econometric models which aim to identify the key explanatory factors in the decision on schooling. The approach adopted is to focus on the effects of sibling competition within the household, by paying close attention to the number, age and gender of a child's siblings, while also taking account of the characteristics of the household and community. Our findings suggest that the schooling decision depends as much on the child's characteristics and position within the household, as on the circumstances in which the child lives.
