Child Sex Ratio and Sex Selection
Old Fallacies in New Bottles
Two comments point out fundamental fl aws in the article "Declining Child Sex Ratio and Sex-Selection in India" (EPW, 18 August 2012), which tried to demonstrate that stopping rules can affect the sex ratio andthat sex-selective abortions do not infl uence the child sex ratio.
I am grateful to Diane Coffey, Aashish Gupta, Srinivas Goli and Reetika Khera for helpful comments.
