Have we abandoned #TWFE too quickly?😮 New in #Sociological #Methodology w/ @aksoyundan.bsky.social We compare TWFE event studies vs dynamic #DID estimators. Results suggest a more nuanced picture than "never use TWFE" and clarify when different estimators perform well 👇 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/0081...

I am so grateful to have worked closely with Ann Berrington on a range of projects around intergenerational coresidence and exchange and, more broadly, alongside the family and social demography group of our department and the CPC. Our farewell celebrations were a fitting cap to the journey.

Pension system reforms aim to extend working life. Reforms have been implemented throughout Europe, albeit to varying degrees in different countries. Jan Einhoff examined the progress: www.demogr.mpg.de/en/news_events_61…

Abstract
In societies experiencing declining birth rates, understanding factors that influence childbearing decisions is of interest. We used a factorial survey experiment to investigate how scenarios of future caregiving responsibilities toward aging parents and employment uncertainties shape the expected childbearing behavior of a fictitious couple. Respondents from the nationally representative German Socio-Economic Panel Innovation Sample (SOEP-IS) (n = 1,750) were randomly assigned to five vignettes, each describing a hypothetical couple with varying levels of caregiving responsibilities towards an aging parent and employment uncertainties. Respondents subsequently rated their expectations about the hypothetical couple’s childbearing behavior within the next three years using an 11-point scale. Results show that high caregiving responsibilities and dual employment uncertainties reduce expected childbearing behavior by 2.8 and 1.9 units respectively, compared to when these are absent. The negative effect of high caregiving responsibilities is more pronounced among women, while respondents’ own caregiving and employment experiences do not moderate these effects. These results demonstrate how both future-oriented caregiving responsibilities and employment uncertainties alter expectations about family formation and highlight the scenarios that are regarded as more or less favorable for childbearing.
