Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We use population-wide administrative data from Denmark and an event-study design spanning nearly two decades to examine the impact of parental dementia on adult children’s labor market, physical health, and mental health outcomes. We find no meaningful effects on labor supply, earnings, or physical-health-related care. In contrast, mental health care use increases substantially, especially among daughters, beginning years before a parent’s death, peaking around the time of death, and converging to the counterfactual trend over about seven years. Results suggest that robust long-term care and leave policies can largely insulate adult children from economic disruptions of ADRD, while mental health spillovers remain significant.
