内容简介：

We investigate the role of local interactions in disseminating a new fertility trend. Using China’s selective two-child policy as a partial-population experiment, we unveil the fertility spillover from targeted to non-targeted families. We find that non-targeted families responded to the policy with a time lag compared to targeted families, and the fertility spillover was more pronounced among non-targeted families with greater exposure to targeted families. Such spillover diminishes with geographic distances separating the potential interacting entities but is amplified in neighborhoods with abundant amenities facilitating local interactions. Heterogeneous effects across women with different socioeconomic statuses underscore the incentive of conformity.
