This paper discovers that people born in the fourth quarter tend to have better lifecycle outcomes for 1930-1990 cohorts China, and this birth effect (BQE) is larger females than males. To explain finding, we hypothesize seasonality agricultural production, combined with son preference, leads a gender gap BQEs on child neonatal investment, subsequently, outcomes. Exploiting seasonal production patterns spatial variations crop structures across provinces find individuals seasons more abundant...
