Determinants of Child Care Participation
Coneus, Katja; Goeggel, Kathrin; Muehler, Grit - 2007
When estimating the determinants of child care participation, the simultaneity in mothers' decision to work and in the decision to use child care is a major challenge. In this study, we provide evidence on the determinants of institutional child care use accounting for the endogeneity of...

Return-to-job during and after maternity leave
Fitzenberger, Bernd; Steffes, Susanne; Strittmatter, Anthony - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010
This paper studies the return-to-job of female employees after first birth based on exceptional longitudinal data from personnel records of a large German company. Given a very long maternity leave coverage, we investigate to what extent data available to management allow to predict the...

Completed fertility effects of family policy measures: Evidence from a life-cycle model
Abiry, Raphael; Reuss, Karsten; Stichnoth, Holger - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014
We estimate a structural life-cycle model of fertility and female labour supply and use it to evaluate the effects of a number of key family policy measures based on data for Germany. Parental leave benefits, child benefits and subsidized childcare are found to have substantial fertility...

Causal effects on employment after first birth: A dynamic treatment approach
Fitzenberger, Bernd; Sommerfeld, Katrin; Steffes, Susanne - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013
The effects of childbirth on future labor market outcomes are a key issue for policy discussion. This paper implements a dynamic treatment approach to estimate the effect of having the first child now versus later on future employment for the case of Germany, a country with a long maternity...

Short-run fertility effects of parental leave benefits: Evidence from a structural model
Stichnoth, Holger - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014
Based on a structural model of fertility and female labour force supply with unobserved heterogeneity and state dependence, we evaluate the 2007 reform of parental leave benefits in Germany, which replaced a flat, means-tested benefit by a generous earnings-related transfer. The model predicts a...

Life-cycle incidence of family policy measures in Germany: Evidence from a dynamic microsimulation model

This paper quantifies the life-cycle incidence of key family policy measures in Germany. The analysis is based on a novel dynamic microsimulation model that combines simulated family life-cycles for a base population from the 2009 wave of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) with a...
