本文评估了1993年《家庭和医疗休假法》（FMLA）中无薪产假条款对美国儿童出生和婴儿健康结果的影响。我的识别策略使用了各州在FMLA之前产假政策的变化以及FMLA规定涵盖的公司的变化。使用生命统计数据和差异中差异的方法，我发现产假导致出生体重的小幅增加，早产的可能性降低，受过大学教育和已婚母亲的孩子的婴儿死亡率大幅下降，他们最能利用无薪假期。我的结果对于包含许多控制因素，包括母亲、儿童和县的特征、州和年份的固定效应、州和年份的相互作用，以及几种不同的规范，都是稳健的。
This paper evaluates the impacts of unpaid maternity leave provisions of the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) on children's birth and infant health outcomes in the United States. My identification strategy uses variation in pre-FMLA maternity leave policies across states and variation in which firms are covered by FMLA provisions. Using Vital Statistics data and difference-in-difference-in-difference methodology, I find that maternity leave led to small increases in birth weight, decreases in the likelihood of a premature birth, and substantial decreases in infant mortality for children of college-educated and married mothers, who were most able to take advantage of unpaid leave. My results are robust to the inclusion of numerous controls for maternal, child, and county characteristics, state and year fixed effects, and state-year interactions, as well as across several different specifications.
