Recent research indicates that the time allocation of American men is much more responsive to the presence of children than had been believed, and that this response depends, in some dimensions, on the gender of the children. Child gender also seems to have significant effects on fathers' involvement with families and on family formation. I plan to summarize a set of empirical results concerning the effects of sons and daughters on the behavior of both married and unmarried fathers, and to discuss their implications for economic models of family decision-making and family structure. The results are consistent with a model in which sons have a greater positive effect on marital/relationship surplus than do daughters, and differential impacts on parental labor supply and consumption decisions.
