“…While recent research on developed countries has used indirect behavioral measures to assess gender preference. such as the effect of sex of previous children on (intentions of) having another child (Brockmann 2001;Andersson et al 2006;Hank and Kohler 2000;Hank and Kohler 2003;Pollard and Morgan 2002), I consider asking direct questions for their preference to be appropriate for the purposes of this study. Because the odds of wanting/having a third or even a second child are low due to social and economic constraints in very low fertility contexts, it is likely that a desire for an additional child in response to gender preference may not be translated into actual behavior.…”

“…What we found is that when it comes to female names, the early 1960s were a time of recurring traditionalism. This may reflect the official pronunciation of the importance of women, especially in the labor force, as proclaimed by 23/27 East Germany's leaders (Brockmann 1999). This development towards a (virtual) empowerment of women was unique to East Germany.…”

“…De acuerdo con Marleau y Saucier (2002), los datos de comportamiento revelan las verdaderas preferencias de los padres respecto al sexo de sus hijos en cuanto a que es posible medir la fecundidad subsecuente con base en los hijos existentes. Puesto que el sexo de los hijos existentes y el deseo de tener más hijos han sido ligados a la fecundidad, en esta investi- fecundidad acumulada (Méndez y Campos, 2013), pero sobre todo con las probabilidades de agrandamiento de la familia (Pong, 1994;Yamaguchi y Ferguson, 1995;Brockmann, 2001;Pollard y Morgan, 2002;Gray y Evans, 2005;Andersson, Hank y Vikat, 2007;Kippen, Evans y Gray, 2007;Gipson y Hindin, 2009). En consecuencia, parece lógico suponer que la influencia de la preferencia por el sexo de los hijos en la fecundidad se ejerce a través del deseo de más hijos.…”
