There has been little empirical work evaluating the sensitivity of fertility to financial incentives at the household level. We put forward an identification strategy that relies on the fact that variation of wages induces variation in benefits and tax credits among "comparable households. We...

This paper combines a Phillips curve and a disequilibrium model of the labor market. The novel feature of the model is that both the Phillips curve and the equation that links excess labor supply and unemployment contain lagged latent variables, which makes standard estimation methods...
