Does paternity leave reduce fertility? (2019, background): “1 Lalive and Zweimüller (2009) found that an extension in the duration of maternity leave in Austria in 1990 led to a substantial increase in fertility, and Raute (2017) found that financial incentives for high-earnings women to take maternity leave also led to fertility gains.”
Expansions in Maternity Leave Coverage and Children's Long-Term Outcomes (2012, methodology): “A similar strategy has, for instance, been used by Lalive and Zweimüller (2009) and Lalive et al. (2010) to evaluate the impact of an Austrian policy reform on mothers’ fertility and labor market outcomes, and by Ekberg, Eriksson, and Friebel (2005) to analyze the impact of Sweden’s “daddy month ref”
Parental leave regulations, mothers’ labor force attachment and fathers’ childcare involvement: evidence from a natural experiment (2013, methodology): “Similar identification strategies comparing those giving birth shortly before a reform with those giving birth shortly after have been used for example by Schönberg and Ludsteck (2008), Lalive and Zweimüller (2009) and Ekberg et al. (2005).”
Public School Availability for Two-year Olds and Mothers' Labour Supply (2010, unknown): “See e.g. Lalive and Zweimüller (2009), Schönberg and Ludsteck (2008) or Dustman and Schönberg (2009).”
The Career Costs of Children (2017, unknown): “For instance, a newly introduced policy (28)See, for instance, Cohen, Dehejia, and Romanov (2010) who investigate the effect of Israel’s child subsidy program on fertility; Laroque and Salanié (2008) who study the impact of child subsidies in France on total fertility and labor supply; Haan and Wroh”
Reserving Time for Daddy: The Consequences of Fathers’ Quotas (2019, unknown): “Several studies note that the provision of extended maternity leave delays women’s return to work (Schonberg and Ludsteck, 2014; Lalive and Zweimuller, 2009) and lowers the probability of upward occupational moves (Evertsson and Duvander, 2011).”
What is the Case for Paid Maternity Leave? (2013, unknown): “Rasmussen (2010) nds that a single expansion of leave in Denmark did not a ect later educational outcomes, while Liu and Skans (2010) nd that a single leave expansion in Sweden resulted in increased academic test scores for children of highly-educated mothers but otherwise had no e ect.”
Maternity and Family Leave Policy (2017, unknown): “In Austria, an extension of paid leave from one to two years reduced mothers’ earnings in the short-term, but had no longer-term impacts (Lalive 13 and Zweimüller, 2009).”
Parental Leave and Mothers' Careers: The Relative Importance of Job Protection and Cash Benefits (2011, result): “The selection analysis leads us to conclude that not only employment rates of pre- and post- July mothers are similar once both groups have exhausted their PL provisions, but we can also assure that pre- and post- July mothers who are employed come from the same part of the earnings potential distri”
Does the cost of child care affect female labor market participation? An evaluation of a French reform of childcare subsidies (2015, background): “Additionally, career breaks for childraising appear to have an impact on wages, but the durability of this effect is still controversial (Lequien, 2012, Lalive and Zweimuller, 2009).”
