Fertility and economic instability : the role of unemployment and job displacement

We study the effect of job displacement on fertility in a sample of white collar women in Austria. Using instrumental … variables methods we show that unemploy- ment incidence as such has no negative effect on fertility decisions, but the very fact … of being displaced from a career-oriented job has; fertility rates for women affected by a plant closure are …

When is the best time to give birth?
Frühwirth-Schnatter, Sylvia; Pamminger, Christoph; … - 2014
Using Bayesian Markov chain clustering analysis we investigate career paths of Austrian women after their first birth. This data-driven method allows characterizing long-term career paths of mothers over up to 19 years by transitions between parental leave, non-employment and different forms of...

Labor market entry and earnings dynamics : Bayesian inference using mixtures-of-experts Markov chain clustering
Frühwirth-Schnatter, Sylvia; Pamminger, Christoph; … - 2010
This paper analyzes patterns in the earnings development of young labor market entrants over their life cycle. We identify four distinctly different types of transition patterns between discrete earnings states in a large administrative data set. Further, we investigate the effects of labor...
