The Quantitative Role of Child Care for Female Labor Force Participation and Fertility (2016, positive): “This response is close to the empirical estimates by Baker et al. (2008) and Lefebvre and Merrigan (2008) for the late 1990s in Quebec after the introduction of a similar policy.”
The effects of family policy on maternal labor supply: Combining evidence from a structural model and a quasi-experimental approach (2015, background): “Other studies use quasi-experimental approaches and identify the effect of childcare policy on regional variation in the availability or expansion of child care (see, among others, Havnes and Mogstad (2011) for Norway, Simonsen (2010) for Denmark, Berlinski and Galiani (2007) for Argentina, Cascio (”
Outsourcing Household Production: Foreign Domestic Workers and Native Labor Supply in Hong Kong (2013, background): “…elasticity larger in absolute value but not too far from well-identified elasticities for the United States and Canada, which gravitate around 20.35 ðBaker et al. 2008Þ.

Can’t buy mommy’s love? Universal childcare and children’s long-term cognitive development (2014, background): “The seminal study by Baker et al. (2008) focuses on a setting in which public childcare replaced mainly private (paid) childcare arrangements. Exploiting the introduction of highly subsidized childcare in Québec, they find negative effects on children’s short-run health and well-being. Cascio (2009)”
Childcare subsidies and labour supply - Evidence from a large Dutch reform (2015, methodology): “…to the effects reported by Nollenberger and Rodŕıguez-Planas (2015) for the reform in Spain, but substantially smaller than the effects reported by Baker et al. (2008) and Lefebvre and Merrigan (2008) for the reform in Quebec.40 However, the comparison is complicated by the fact that we are…”
Welfare programs and labor supply in developing countries: experimental evidence from Latin America (2012, positive): “The requirements related to children’s human capital accumulation may have an impact on a household’s allocation of time: the positive impact of CCTs on children’s school attendance could free up time previously spent on childcare (Blau and Tekin, 2007; Baker et al., 2008; Mörk et al., 2011), thereb”
