In this paper, we combine administrative data for continental Spain from 2010 to 2018 with meteorological data to identify the effect of temperature on fertility. We demonstrate that warm (25-30°C) and hot days (30°C) decrease total fertility rate (TFR) in Spain, and that the estimated...

Estimating the Lifecycle Fertility Consequences of WWII Using Bunching

Zwiers, Esmée - 2024
