　　经济运行差,女儿更吃香

　　Carlson School of Management and Rutgers Business School researchers surveyed 629 people to see how economic conditions affect gender¹ preferences for their offspring. Participants read articles telling them the economy was either improving, getting worse or neutral. They were then asked to divide their assets between an imaginary son and daughter.

　　Those who read an article describing the economy as bad allocated² about 60 percent of their assets to a daughter. But when economic conditions were expected to be neutral or improve, participants split their property nearly 50:50.
