摘要

本研究通过使用新颖的行政数据调查了意大利父母对孩子的惩罚。依靠事件研究方法，我们发现分娩对母亲的收入有负面影响，而父亲的收入在很大程度上不受影响。然而，如果休假津贴包括在收入中，妇女的孩子罚款在分娩当年几乎消失，并在第二年下降了一半以上。随后，母亲的收入迅速恢复到出生前的水平，但永远赶不上父亲的收入。父亲的收入呈上升趋势，在分娩后7年增长约46%。

The role of parental leave policies in mitigating child penalties: insights from Italy

This study examines child penalties for mothers and fathers in Italy by using novel administrative data. Relying on an event study approach, we find that childbirth affects mothers' earnings negatively, while fathers' earnings remain largely unaffected. However, when leave allowances are included in earnings, the child penalty for women nearly disappears in the year of childbirth and drops by more than half in the following year. Subsequently mothers’ earnings quickly return to pre-birth levels, but never catch up to fathers' earnings, which follow an upward trajectory, increasing by approximately 46 % seven years after childbirth.

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
