对儿童的投资通常被视为对未来经济的投资。在这项研究中，我专注于对孩子的时间投资，因为我调查的长期教育影响，增加父母的生育相关的假期从14至20周，使用自然实验，从1984年在丹麦。改革的因果关系的影响，确定使用回归不连续设计，比较人口样本的儿童出生不久之前，不久之后的改革生效。结果表明，增加父母获得与生育有关的假期对儿童的长期教育成果没有可衡量的影响。母亲的收入和职业机会受到改革的轻微积极影响。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
investments in children are generally seen as investments in the future economy. In this study I focus on time investments in children as I investigate the long-term educational effects on children of increasing parents' birth-related leave from 14 to 20 weeks using a natural experiment from 1984 in Denmark. The causal effect of the reform is identified using regression discontinuity design to compare a population sample of children born shortly before and shortly after the reform took effect. Results indicate that increasing parents' access to birth-related leave has no measurable effect on children's long-term educational outcomes. Mothers' incomes and career opportunities are slightly positively affected by the reform. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
