Revising Our Thinking About the Relationship Between Maternal Labor Supply and Preschool (2012, background): “Interestingly, the results are closest to those in Cascio (2009), which measure the intent-to-treat effects of the introduction of public kindergartens in the Southern United States.”
What can wages and employment tell us about the UK's productivity puzzle? (2013, background): “7 For example, they are often the group found to be most responsive to childcare subsidies (Cascio, 2009; Fitzpatrick, 2012) as well as the in-work support offered via tax credits (Blundell et al. , 2000, 2008; Brewer, 2001; Blundell and Hoynes, 2004; Brewer et al. , 2006).”
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 (”

Childcare subsidies and labour supply - Evidence from a large Dutch reform (2015, background): “As argued by e.g. Cascio (2009) and Fitzpatrick (2012), studies that use data from a later period are therefore more likely to find smaller effects, as childcare subsidies are then more likely to be inframarginal to the participation decision.44 However, we should note that some studies (e.g. Goux…”
Public School Availability for Two-year Olds and Mothers' Labour Supply (2010, neutral): “For example, Cascio (2009a) argues that the introduction of kindergartens for children aged five in the US public schools during the 1960s and 1970s raised very significantly the labour supply of single mothers with eligible children, but had no effect on other mothers.”
Children and the Remaining Gender Gaps in the Labor Market (2020, positive): “Cascio (2009) find similar positive effects on the maternal labor supply of single mothers (with no children under the age of five) resulting from the expansion of access to publicly-funded kindergarten programs in the 1960s and 1970s.”
Children of a (Policy) Revolution: The Introduction of Universal Child Care and Its Effect on Fertility (2016, neutral): “…that emerges from this literature in general is that of positive effects from the introduction or expansion of affordable child care on the labor supply of mothers—particularly sole mothers (e.g., Gelbach, 2002; Blau and Tekin, 2007; Baker et al., 2008; Lefebvre and Merrigan, 2008; Cascio, 2009).”
