Universal child care, maternal employment, and children's long-run outcomes : evidence from the US Lanham Act of 1940
Herbst, Chris M. - 2013
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the Lanham Act of 1940, a heavily-subsidized and universal child care program that was administered throughout the U.S. during World War II. I begin by estimating the impact of the Lanham Act on maternal employment using 1940 and 1950 Census data...

Who benefits from universal child care? : estimating marginal returns to early child care attendance
Cornelißen, Thomas; Dustmann, Christian; Raute, Anna; … - 2018
In this paper, we examine the heterogeneous treatment effects of a universal child care (preschool) program in Germany by exploiting the exogenous variation in attendance caused by a reform that led to a large staggered expansion across municipalities. Drawing on novel administrative data from...

A computationally practical simulation estimation algorithm for dynamic panel data models with unobserved endogenous state variables
Keane, Michael P.; Sauer, Robert M. - 2009
This paper develops a simulation estimation algorithm that is particularly useful for estimating dynamic panel data models with unobserved endogenous state variables. The new approach can easily deal with the commonly encountered and widely discussed initial conditions problem, as well as the...

Stewart, Jay - 2009
I use data from the American Time Use Survey to examine how maternal employment affects when during the day that mothers of pre-school-age children spend doing enriching childcare and whether they adjust their schedules to spend time with their children at more-desirable times of day. I find...
