gender identity and womens supply of Labor and non Market work panel data evidence for germany
Research Papers in Economics, 2015Co-Authors: Anna Wieber, Elke HolstAbstract:This paper aims to verify results of the innovative study on gender identity for the USA by Bertrand et al. (2015) for Germany. They found that women who would earn more than their husbands distort their Labor Market Outcome in order not to violate traditional gender identity norms. Using data from the German Socio-economic Panel Study (SOEP) we also find that the distribution of the share of income earned by the wife exhibits a sharp drop to the right of the half, where the wife’s income exceeds the husband’s income. The results of the fixed effects regression confirm that gender identity has an impact on the Labor supply of full time working women, but only in Western Germany. We also show that gender identity affects the supply of housework but in contrast to the US where women increase their contribution to non-Market work when they actually have a higher income than their husbands, we find for Germany that women only barely reduce their weekly hours of non-Market work once their income exceeds that of their husbands.

long term effects of preschool investment on school performance and Labor Market Outcome 1
Research Papers in Economics, 2003Co-Authors: Lakshmi K RautAbstract:Using the NLSY data set, this paper formulates and then empirically estimates the production processes for social, motivational and cognitive skills during early childhood development and the long-term effects of these skills on learning and life-time earnings of an individual. Using these estimated relationships, the paper provides a calibrated intergenerational altruistic model of parental investment in children's preschool. This dynamic model is then used to estimate the effects of publicly provided preschool to the children of poor socioeconomic status (SES) on college mobility and intergenerational social mobility and to estimate the tax burden of such a social contract.

Is the Home-Care-Allowance disadvantaging single parents? Labor Market Outcome consequences of the Cash-for-Care benefit for single parents in Finland
2017Co-Authors: Kathrin MorosowAbstract:This paper examines the Labor Market consequences of the home-care-allowance for single parents in Finland. The home-care-allowance, also called cash-for-care, is a benefit paid to parents who take care of their children at home instead of using public daycare. In light of the fact that Finland and the Nordic countries are characterized by higher levels of gender equality and mother’s Labor force participation this policy is widely discussed and criticized for contradicting these aims. Previous research indicated for the home care allowance to reduce maternal Labor force participation. Using Finnish register data, this paper assesses: (1) to what extend single parents use the cash-for-care benefit in Finland, and the factors that influence the use of this benefit for single parents, including education and Labor Market attachment. (2) Employment trajectories for single parents compared to two family households by different cash-for-care use lengths. (3) The consequences for Labor Market participation when single parents use the home care allowance, and if that effect varies by length of the cash-for-care use. Considering that single parent households face disadvantages in terms of fewer resources anyway, this paper contributes by answering the question whether single parents are disproportionally disadvantaged when using cash-for-care.

Parental well-being in times of Covid-19 in Germany
Centre for Economic Performance LSE, 2020Co-Authors: Huebner Mathias, Siegel Nico, Spiess C. Katharina, Wagner, Gert G., Waights SevrinAbstract:We examine the differential effects of Covid-19 and related restrictions on individuals with dependent children in Germany. We specifically focus on the role of school and day care center closures, which may be regarded as a “disruptive exogenous shock” to family life. We make use of a novel representative survey of parental well-being collected in May and June 2020 in Germany, when schools and day care centers were closed but while other measures had been relaxed and new infections were low. In our descriptive analysis, we compare well-being during this period with a pre-crisis period for different groups. In a difference-in-differences design, we compare the change for individuals with children to the change for individuals without children, accounting for unrelated trends as well as potential survey mode and context effects. We find that the crisis lowered the relative well-being of individuals with children, especially for individuals with young children, for women, and for persons with lower secondary schooling qualifications. Our results suggest that public policy measures taken to contain Covid-19 can have large effects on family well-being, with implications for child development and parental Labor Market Outcome
