Neighborhood Concentration of Child Poverty by Immigrant Background
Child poverty has been steadily rising across high-income countries, including Scandinavia, raising concerns about its spatial concentration and potential impact on inequality. This study uses administrative data to investigate the development of geographic concentration of child poverty in Norway from 2004 to 2022, with a focus on variations across immigrant and native-born children. We analyze neighborhood poverty trends and measure overexposur…
Flerpartnerfertilitet og det økende kjønnsgapet i barnløshet
Det økende kjønnsgapet i barnløshet er gjenstand for betydelig oppmerksomhet fra politikere, forskere og samfunnsdebattanter. En ofte gjentatt påstand er at menn med lav inntekt i økende grad forblir barnløse fordi kvinner «gjenbruker» menn med høyere sosioøkonomisk status. I denne artikkelen benytter vi norske registerdata til å analysere flerpartnerfertilitet – altså å ha fått barn med flere enn én partner – ved 45-årsalder for ulike inntektsgr…
Older sisters and younger siblings
I investigate how having an older sister rather than brother matters for the school performance of younger siblings, using administrative register data for Norwegian school children. Having an older sister improves second borns’ grade point average at the end of compulsory education by 2.6 percent of a standard deviation. The older sister advantage is roughly equal in size for second born boys and girls, and across subjects. Further analyses indi…
Ufrivillig og frivillig barnløse
I denne artikkelen undersøker jeg utbredelsen av å ikke ønske seg barn og hvilken rolle et slikt ønske spiller i forskjeller i barnløshet mellom menn og kvinner og mellom utdanningsgrupper. Jeg bruker data fra en spørreundersøkelse om barneønsker og familiepolitikk, gjennomført av Institutt for samfunnsforskning i 2019 og 2022, til å konstruere mål på ufrivillig og frivillig barnløshet fra ung voksen til slutten av reproduktiv alder. Blant alle 2…
Explaining Residential Clustering of Large Families
Numerous studies have shown that fertility behavior is spatially clustered. In addition to pure contextual effects, two causal mechanisms could drive this pattern. First, neighbors may influence each other's fertility and second, family size may influence decisions about where to live. In this study we examine these two potential causal mechanisms empirically, using the sex composition of the two eldest children and twin births as instrumental va…
Local Immigration and Support for Anti‐Immigration Parties
Does the share of immigrants in a community influence whether people vote for anti‐immigration parties? We conduct a systematic review of the causal inference literature studying this question. We collect estimates from 20 studies and develop a new Bayesian meta‐analysis framework to account for both between‐study heterogeneity in effect sizes and the possibility of reporting bias. Although meta‐analysis methods that do not adjust for reporting b…
Rainfall shocks and intimate partner violence in sub-Saharan Africa
Global climate change makes extreme precipitation events likely to become more frequent and intense in large parts of Africa. We study the effect of rainfall shocks on intimate partner violence in sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis shows the presence of spatial autocorrelation in rainfall shocks, which compromises the exogeneity of rainfall shocks in many applications. We correct for the autocorrelation using spatial polynomials. In particular, we …

Overgang fra utdanning til arbeid blant høytutdannede etterkommere av innvandrere
Til tross for en voksende litteratur om hvordan barn av ikke-vestlige innvandrere i Norge gjør det i arbeidslivet, sammenliknet med barn av norskfødte foreldre, finnes det begrenset med kvantitativ forskning om hvordan slike forskjeller utspiller seg helt i toppen av utdanningsfordelingen: Hvilken betydning har innvandrerbakgrunn for dem som har fullført en mastergrad? Vi studerer ansettelser, timelønn og årsinntekt for denne spesielle gruppen i …
Identifying interaction effects using random fertility shocks
Fertility interaction effects in social networks increasingly attracts the interest of demographers. While these theories propose a causal mechanism, they are rarely put to test in a plausibly causal statistical design
Resources and Intimate Partner Violence in Sub-Saharan Africa
Combining DHS data for 580,000 women from 30 different countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, we analyze how both the incidence and the acceptance of intimate partner violence vary across time and space, in a region with record high levels of violence against women. We review the existing literature regarding the impact of resources on intimate partner violence, extracting testable and often conflicting hypotheses at the micro and macro level, and on t…
The Effect of Childhood Family Size on Fertility in Adulthood
Although fertility is positively correlated across generations, the causal effect of children’s experience with larger sibships on their own fertility in adulthood is poorly understood. With the sex composition of the two firstborn children as an instrumental variable, we estimate the effect of sibship size on adult fertility using high-quality data from Norwegian administrative registers. Our study sample is all firstborns or second-borns during…
Children and Careers
We estimate the effect of family size on various measures of labor market outcomes over the whole career until retirement, using instrumental variables estimation in data from Norwegian administrative registers. Parents’ number of children is instrumented with the sex mix of their first two children. We find that having additional children causes sizable reductions in labor supply for women, which fade as children mature and even turn positive fo…
Causal Effects of Paternity Leave on Children and Parents
Reserving a share of the parental leave period for fathers is considered necessary in order to induce fathers to take leave, and to increase men's participation in child‐rearing. We investigate how a parental leave reform directed towards fathers affected leave‐taking, and, in turn, children's and parents' long‐term outcomes. A paternal leave quota greatly increases the share of men taking paternity leave. We find evidence that children's school …
