Pill access helped women delay childbirth and build careers, unless religious gatekeepers intervened. Just Accepted new paper by Olivier Marie (@econom.bsky.social) and Esmée Zwiers (@esmeezwiers.bsky.social) zurl.co/Zdwvc

Religious Barriers to Birth Control Access

Abstract. This paper presents new causal evidence on the “power” of oral contraceptives in shaping women's lives, leveraging the 1970 liberalization of the Pill for minors in the Netherlands and demand- and supply-side religious preferences that affected Pill take-up. We analyze administrative data to demonstrate that, after Pill liberalization, minors from less conservative areas were more likely to delay fertility/marriage and to accumulate human capital in the long run. We then show how these large effects were eliminated for women facing a higher share of gatekeepers—general practitioners and pharmacists—who were opposed to providing the Pill on religious grounds.

Does immigration really drive up crime? Not according to the evidence

Our new analysis shows that studies consistently find no causal link between immigration and increased crime across a variety of countries.
