It is a fantastic feeling that someone finds my JMP interesting and worth posting on Twitter! Thank you @_alice_evans and @jenniferdoleac for sharing my JMP!
I am on the market this year and available for interviews. I am excited to talk more about my research soon with you all!

Why do mothers choose to “step back” from the labour market?

Does this reflect biology and innate preferences?

Or are their husbands’ jobs inflexible, inhibiting shared care giving?

When husbands' jobs are flexible, mothers earn more! https://t.co/APlE9xf3PS JMP,

📈1980, 1998, 2007 saw spikes in the fraction of large US firms making lumpy investments...soon followed by recessions.
📜 Coincidence? Paper by Hanbaek Lee (@CamEcon) proposes that such surges render the economy more fragile and weaken the effectiveness of monetary policy.

@SaunokC @_alice_evans @jenniferdoleac Thanks! :) Yes, from what I find, it does reduce the labor participation rate of wives after 10 years from their first birth.
The main mechanism is the divergence in human capital between spouses over the life cycle!

@Lois_Miller @gema_zamarro I would love to look at the time usage of married couple (for both hus and wif) in high frequency. Anyone knows if such data exists, happy to learn more!

[Minji Bang @_minji_bang]

@Lois_Miller @gema_zamarro Thanks for your interest in my paper!
In terms of husbands’ labor supply and hours worked, I do not see a significant impact from wife’s flexibility change.
But I do think this would change husbands' time use within a day, e.g. when to work/care, which I cannot see in my data.
