DESCRIPTION:We test Le Play’s (1875) hypothesis that the French Revolutio
 n contributed to France’s early fertility decline. In 1793\, a series of
  inheritance reforms abolished local inheritance practices\, imposing equa
 l partition of assets among all children. We develop a theoretical framewo
 rk that predicts a decline in fertility following these reforms because of
  indivisibility constraints in parents’ assets. We test this hypothesis b
 y combining a newly created map of pre-Revolution local inheritance practi
 ces together with demographic data from the Henry database and from crowds
 ourced geneaologies in Geni.com. We provide difference-in differences and r
 egression-discontinuity estimates based on comparing cohorts of fertile age
  and cohorts too old to be fertile in 1793 between municipalities where the
  reforms altered and did not alter existing inheritance practices. We find
  that the 1793 inheritance reforms reduced completed fertility by half to o
 ne child\, closed the pre-reform fertility gap between different inheritan
 ce regions\, and sharply accelerated France’s early fertility transition
