Collective bargaining shapes labor markets, yet we know little about its effects. In our new WP, we track workers shifted to contracts with lower wage floors: wages fall, but employment rises, suggesting adjustments along the firm's labor demand curve.

David de la Croix's keynote closes the workshop. Jointly with Thomas Baudin, he shows how 18th-century Northern European high-human-capital families escaped the Malthusian trap, shifting from larger to smaller families, prioritizing education of children over quantity.

Chiara Lacava @chiaralac.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Using Danish tax data, Chris Busch and coauthors show that spousal similarity in earnings determines income comovement and shapes how households respond to shocks. Spousal sorting across sectors and occupations is especially relevant to explain household earnings dynamics.

Why is fertility so high in sub-Saharan Africa? Paula Gobbi and coauthors reveal inheritance customs play a key role: impartible inheritance (land to one heir) raises fertility by 0.85 children, avoiding land division. Differences across inheritance rules disappear in more labor-intensive regions.

Chiara Lacava @chiaralac.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Fabian Kindermann and @mdoepke.bsky.social build a bargaining model that matches new trends in fertility decisions. They find that bargaining loss directly depends on marginal child penalty, which may follow an inverted U-shaped pattern.

Chiara Lacava @chiaralac.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Does early school tracking shape inequality? Suzanne Bellue and Lukas Mahler build an OLG model estimated on German data to assess the effects of school tracking on output and welfare. They find that delaying track choices boosts social mobility but may lower economic efficiency.

Chiara Lacava @chiaralac.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

How did labor market competition shape women’s rights? In her keynote talk, Michèle Tertilt shows that 'protective laws' in the U.S. restricting women’s work arose—and later fell—due to political reactions to female labor competition.

Chiara Lacava @chiaralac.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Why does female labor supply respond more to spousal wage gaps in West Germany than in the East? @mariongousse.bsky.social explains the role of cultural identity differences through the lenses of a search and matching model of marriage formation and divorce, and intra-household resource allocation.

Chiara Lacava @chiaralac.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Optimistic about 'happily ever after'? Turns out, overoptimism about divorce lowers savings and increases inequality in marriages. Ursula Berresheim & David Koll show that rational expectations could increase assets, work hours, and human capital.

Do spouses keep secrets about income? Using novel Dutch data @mdoepke.bsky.social and coauthors find that in couples where income info isn’t fully shared, an income boost tilts consumption balance towards the higher earner. Suggests private info shapes family dynamics more than we thought!

Chiara Lacava @chiaralac.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Monika Merz et al. examine how couples' labor supply is influenced by heterogeneous preferences and mutual insurance against wage shocks. Using the German Time-Use Survey, their model reveals that ignoring mutual insurance misses key male labor supply behavior

Chiara Lacava @chiaralac.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

@maxblesch.bsky.social (@diw.de & @humboldtuni.bsky.social) et al. show that German women are overly optimistic about wage growth from part-time work, leading to higher part-time and flatter wage trajectories. A structural life-cycle model shows this bias significantly impacts earnings and welfare

Chiara Lacava @chiaralac.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Markus Poschke kicks off the workshop documenting how gendered time allocation in market, domestic, and care work varies across 50 countries. A macro model of household time use shows that variation in the division of non-market work is mainly shaped by a wedge indicating greater disutility for men
