我们研究了2007年德国儿童补贴政策的重大变化对劳动力供应的影响，该政策旨在提高生育率和缩短与生育有关的就业中断。这项改革包括从经济状况调查的产假福利制度（最多两年支付300欧元）转变为福利制度（最多一年支付产前收入的三分之二）。由于改革是最近才进行的，我们通过使用德国社会经济小组（GSOEP）关于妇女重返劳动力市场意愿的数据来估计劳动力供应效应。我们的研究结果表明，改革产生了大部分预期效果：计划在访谈后一年内重返劳动力市场的母亲比例增加了14个百分点。
We study the labour supply effects of a major change in child-subsidy policy in Germany in 2007 designed to increase both fertility and shorten birth-related employment interruptions. The reform involved a move from a means-tested maternity leave benefit system that paid a maximum of 300 Euro for up to 2 years to a benefit system that replaced two-thirds of pre-birth earnings for at most 1 year. As the reform took place very recently, we estimate the labour supply effect by using data drawn from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) on the intention of women to return to the labour market. Our results show that the reform yields most of the intended effects: the fraction of mothers who plan to return to the labour market within a year after the interview increased by 14 percentage points.
