New article out!

With Laurenz Bärtsch, I examine the effects of a German parental leave reform.

The reform increased maternal part-time work during the first 12 months after birth — but interestingly, we find no long-term impact on employment or wages.👇

Such a great workshop last week at IAB on topics on (un-)employment! I can highly encourage all PhD-students to not only take part in workshops and conferences but also be in organizing committees yourself! Very valuable insights and a lot of fun 🎓🎤🪃

Devastating news at IZA yesterday. More than 25 years of hard work, earned reputation, and valuable institutional knowledge and public good provision wiped out with a single stroke. It’s hard to find the words.

🤩Happy that our paper on home visiting delivery type in Germany find a nice home with @gabriconti.bsky.social 🤩

Gabriella Conti @gabriconti.bsky.social · Feb 5

🚨 Excited to share my latest #JAMA #Pediatrics study on #early #home #visiting #programs! w/ @maltesandner.bsky.social et al.
👉 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

We show that only the #midwife-only model led to long-term maternal & child well-being benefits — mixed-staffing approaches did not.
