OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Gender Role Attitudes and Couples' Labor Supply
The present study investigates the persistent gender inequality in labor market outcomes, with a particular focus on the role of parents’ labor supply decisions around child birth. We examine the role of gender role attitudes and tax-based economic incentives on these decisions, drawing on rich panel data from Germany and self-reported gender role attitudes. Our analysis shows that gender role attitudes are not associated with labor supply before birth, but they play a crucial role in the mother’s labor supply after the first child’s birth. We will utilize a dynamic structural model of labor supply decisions of households to disentangle the role of gender role attitudes and tax-based economic incentives. Our model incorporates heterogeneity in childcare allocation preferences and will allow us to simulate the short-term and long-term impact of various policy interventions.
