Three Essays on Fertility, Labor Market Performance, and Parental Mental Health Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, Michigan State University, 2016 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Displaced Workers; Fertility; Gender Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using micro data from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, Chapter Two studies the effect of job displacements on fertility in the U.S. After controlling individual time-invariant heterogeneity, the main regression results indicate that displacements of men will lead to reduced fertility in the following years, while the effect of displacements for women depends on the women's education levels. For women without college education, their fertility will increase four years after displacement. For women with college education, however, no significant effect on fertility is identified. The empirical findings are robust to several different specifications, including time trend model, fixed effect propensity score matching and regression with narrower definition of job displacement. |
