Applied Economics Letters, 2004, vol. 11, issue 3, 193-196

Abstract: This study explores how human capital investment of a child is affected by the number and the gender of his/her siblings. Two alternative explanations are tested for: competition for scarce resources versus direct interactions between siblings. An empirical application is provided using Brazilian data.
