Thanks everyone, it has been a great edition!

Lisbon Macro Workshop@lisbonmacro.bsky.social · 11mo ago

A big thank you to all presenters and discussants for the insightful and productive discussions at this year’s workshop. Looking forward to seeing you all again next year!

Collective bargaining shapes labor markets, yet we know little about its effects. In our new WP, we track workers shifted to contracts with lower wage floors: wages fall, but employment rises, suggesting adjustments along the firm's labor demand curve.

📢 Excited to announce the program for the Lisbon Macro Workshop 2025, taking place August 29–30 at Nova School of Business and Economics 📍 Lisbon

David de la Croix's keynote closes the workshop. Jointly with Thomas Baudin, he shows how 18th-century Northern European high-human-capital families escaped the Malthusian trap, shifting from larger to smaller families, prioritizing education of children over quantity.

Using Danish tax data, Chris Busch and coauthors show that spousal similarity in earnings determines income comovement and shapes how households respond to shocks. Spousal sorting across sectors and occupations is especially relevant to explain household earnings dynamics.

Looking forward to a great conference program today!

Leo Kaas@leokaas.bsky.social · 2y ago

Good morning from Frankfurt, and welcome to the conference "Macroeconomic Implications of Intra-Household Decision Making". Looking forward to a great program! drive.google.com/file//1pouuF...

Why is fertility so high in sub-Saharan Africa? Paula Gobbi and coauthors reveal inheritance customs play a key role: impartible inheritance (land to one heir) raises fertility by 0.85 children, avoiding land division. Differences across inheritance rules disappear in more labor-intensive regions.

Fabian Kindermann and @mdoepke.bsky.social build a bargaining model that matches new trends in fertility decisions. They find that bargaining loss directly depends on marginal child penalty, which may follow an inverted U-shaped pattern.

Does early school tracking shape inequality? Suzanne Bellue and Lukas Mahler build an OLG model estimated on German data to assess the effects of school tracking on output and welfare. They find that delaying track choices boosts social mobility but may lower economic efficiency.

How did labor market competition shape women’s rights? In her keynote talk, Michèle Tertilt shows that 'protective laws' in the U.S. restricting women’s work arose—and later fell—due to political reactions to female labor competition.

Why does female labor supply respond more to spousal wage gaps in West Germany than in the East? @mariongousse.bsky.social explains the role of cultural identity differences through the lenses of a search and matching model of marriage formation and divorce, and intra-household resource allocation.

Optimistic about 'happily ever after'? Turns out, overoptimism about divorce lowers savings and increases inequality in marriages. Ursula Berresheim & David Koll show that rational expectations could increase assets, work hours, and human capital.
