Abstract

This paper studies the impact of collectivization on patricide in China during the Cultural Revolution. From 1955 to 1957, nearly 96 per cent of farmers were organized into communes. Consequently, fathers lost control over family wealth. We propose that this shift decreased fathers’ bargaining power over their adult sons, which might increase family conflicts. On the basis of a novel dataset, we find that the speed of collectivization significantly increased patricide, and the result is robust by employing ruggedness to instrumenting for the speed of collectivization. Our study extends the literature on intra-household bargaining from couples to intergenerational relationships.

共产主义与弑父:20 世纪 60 年代中国的集体化与家庭暴力
本文研究了中国文化大革命期间集体化对弑父行为的影响。从 1955 年到 1957 年,近 96% 的农民被组织到公社。因此,父亲失去了对家庭财富的控制。我们认为,这种转变降低了父亲对其成年儿子的讨价还价能力,从而可能加剧家庭冲突。在新数据集的基础上,我们发现集体化的速度显著增加了弑父行为,而且通过使用崎岖度来衡量集体化的速度,这一结果是稳健的。我们的研究将关于家庭内部讨价还价的文献从夫妻关系扩展到了代际关系。
