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.

It's a very sad day. Just notified that @iza.org is closing its doors as of 31 December 2025. At a time when labor is under attack and technological change moves at an ever-faster pace, I can't help but think that this is a short-sighted decision. My heart goes out to those folks who work there.

Childbirth has large negative effects on women’s founding rates and firm performance and explain the gender gap in entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurial outcomes never recover to pre-birth levels.

Childcare availability and progressive gender norms reduce the adverse effects of childbirth.
