Stunting (low height-for-age) is known to be a good proxy for a child’s wellbeing. Several studies have suggested that the South African Child Support Grant (CSG) reduces stunting in benefiting children. However, all of these studies have estimated the impact of the CSG on the mean of the height-for-age distribution. This paper investigates how this benefit varies across the quantiles of the height-for-age distribution.

谁从南非儿童抚养补助金中受益？：性别和出生体重的作用

众所周知，发育迟缓（年龄别身高偏低）可以很好地反映儿童的健康状况。多项研究表明，南非儿童支持补助金 (CSG) 可减少发育迟缓，使儿童受益。然而，所有这些研究都估计了 CSG 对年龄别身高分布平均值的影响。本文研究了这种益处在不同年龄身高分布的分位数之间是如何变化的。
