Abstract

I examine the effect of city-level juvenile curfews on teenage birth rates using the National Center for Health Statistics birth data from 1982 to 2002. I compare differences in birth rates between younger and older age groups in cities with and without curfew ordinances. Before curfew adoption, the age differential in birth rates trended similarly for cities that did and did not adopt a curfew. There were significant decreases in the age differential birth rates in cities that adopted a curfew relative to cities that did not. Curfews reduced birth rates by approximately 3 births per 1000 women ages 15–17. I find a decrease in birth rates among white women. The main results are corroborated using a variety of robustness checks and specifications.

青少年宵禁对青少年生育率的影响。
我利用美国国家卫生统计中心(National Center for Health Statistics)1982 年至 2002 年的出生数据,研究了城市一级的青少年宵禁对青少年出生率的影响。我比较了有宵禁令和没有宵禁令的城市中低年龄组和高年龄组出生率的差异。在实行宵禁之前,实行和未实行宵禁的城市出生率的年龄差异趋势相似。与未实行宵禁的城市相比,实行宵禁的城市的出生率年龄差明显缩小。宵禁使每 1000 名 15-17 岁女性的出生率降低了约 3 例。我发现白人妇女的出生率有所下降。主要结果通过各种稳健性检验和规范得到了证实。

期刊介绍: This Journal publishes articles on all aspects of health economics: theoretical contributions, empirical studies and analyses of health policy from the economic perspective. Its scope includes the determinants of health and its definition and valuation, as well as the demand for and supply of health care; planning and market mechanisms; micro-economic evaluation of individual procedures and treatments; and evaluation of the performance of health care systems. Contributions should typically be original and innovative. As a rule, the Journal does not include routine applications of cost-effectiveness analysis, discrete choice experiments and costing analyses. Editorials are regular features, these should be concise and topical. Occasionally commissioned reviews are published and special issues bring together contributions on a single topic. Health Economics Letters facilitate rapid exchange of views on topical issues. Contributions related to problems in both developed and developing countries are welcome.
