Collective bargaining shapes labor markets, yet we know little about its effects. In our new WP, we track workers shifted to contracts with lower wage floors: wages fall, but employment rises, suggesting adjustments along the firm's labor demand curve.

Thank you all for contributing to a great conference!

David de la Croix's keynote closes the workshop. Jointly with Thomas Baudin, he shows how 18th-century Northern European high-human-capital families escaped the Malthusian trap, shifting from larger to smaller families, prioritizing education of children over quantity.

Using Danish tax data, Chris Busch and coauthors show that spousal similarity in earnings determines income comovement and shapes how households respond to shocks. Spousal sorting across sectors and occupations is especially relevant to explain household earnings dynamics.

Why is fertility so high in sub-Saharan Africa? Paula Gobbi and coauthors reveal inheritance customs play a key role: impartible inheritance (land to one heir) raises fertility by 0.85 children, avoiding land division. Differences across inheritance rules disappear in more labor-intensive regions.

Fabian Kindermann and @mdoepke.bsky.social build a bargaining model that matches new trends in fertility decisions. They find that bargaining loss directly depends on marginal child penalty, which may follow an inverted U-shaped pattern.

Does early school tracking shape inequality? Suzanne Bellue and Lukas Mahler build an OLG model estimated on German data to assess the effects of school tracking on output and welfare. They find that delaying track choices boosts social mobility but may lower economic efficiency.
