4 摘要
It has been widely documented that the poor spend a significant proportion of their income on gifts even at the expense of basic consumption. We test three competing explanations of this phenomenon—peer effect, status concern, and risk pooling—based on a census-type primary household survey in three natural villages in rural China and on detailed household records of gifts received on major occasions. We show that gift-giving behavior is largely influenced by peers in reference groups. Status concern is another key motive for keeping up with the Joneses in extending gifts. In particular, poor families with sons spend more on gift giving in proportion to their income than their rich counterparts, in response to the tightening marriage market. In contrast, risk pooling does not seem to be a key driver of the observed gift-giving patterns. However, we show that large windfall income triggers the escalation of competitive gift-giving behavior.

这是国内比较冷门的微观数据研究农村人际关系网的论文。似乎国内这方面的研究还属于空白（或者起步阶段），实证研究受到数据的限制还没有大规模展开。

关系，是中国社会的基础，甚至可能比教育和技能更直接影响收入与个人的社会地位。未来这方面的中文研究会随之兴起——前提是有人开始重视。

I study it,thanks.
