Maternal Life Satisfaction and Child Development from Toddlerhood to Adolescence
We analyse how maternal life satisfaction impacts child development at different ages from toddlerhood to adolescence. Using the German Socio-Economic Panel, which captures maternal life satisfaction and various age-specific measures of child development, we identify a strong positive association between mothers’ life satisfaction and their children’s development when these are toddlers (2-3 years), of primary school age (5-10 years) and in adole…
Parental Leave, Worker Substitutability and Firms’ Employment
Motherhood and parental leave are frequent causes of worker absences and employment interruptions, yet little is known about their effects on firms. Based on linked employer-employee data from Germany, we examine how parental leave absences affect small- and medium-sized firms. We show that they anticipate the absence with replacement hirings in the six months before childbirth. A 2007 parental leave reform extending leave absences reduces firm-l…
Immigration, Female Labour Supply and Local Cultural Norms
We study the local evolution of female labour supply and cultural norms in West Germany in reaction to the sudden presence of East Germans who migrated to the West after reunification.

We find that West German women increase their labour supply and that this holds within households. We provide ad…
Long-Run Effects of Earlier Voting Eligibility on Turnout and Political Involvement
Centre‐Based Care and Parenting Activities
We examine the relationship between parenting activities and centre‐based care using time diary and survey data for mothers in Germany. While mothers using centre‐based care spend significantly less time in the presence of their child, we find that differences in the time spent on specific activities such as reading, talking, and playing with the child are relatively small or zero. The pattern of results is more pronounced for lower education mot…
