Fantastic article about how economic and cultural factors shape (together) fertility: "If the goal is to increase fertility, neither cultural nor economic solutions are likely to work in isolation" @stephmurrayyyy @TheAtlantic A million times yes! https://t.co/HzwbYl8jor

@gobbi_paula presenting our joint work with @EconMattCurtis and marc goni at #FRESH at UC Louvain and it is about inheritance customs, european marriage pattern and female empowerment.

Dans ce pre-print avec @gobbi_paula, nous montrons qu'en plus de la baisse de la mortalité en couche, la diminution très forte de l'incertitude économique des ménages explique une bonne partie du baby boom. https://t.co/ORNRUgFY3o

Replication week's 3rd games: On October 27th 2023 we will organize the Brussels’ Replication Games at the European Center for Advanced Research in Economics and Statistics (ECARES) at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). One-day challenge!🧵 below.

Finally, besides housing, my personally preferred Baby Boom explanation is this one from @BastienCF @gobbi_paula which suggests cohort accumulated experiences of economic *volatility* impact risk preferences and thus fertility.

Thank you so much for coming, presenting, and so much feedback to our works. Thanks to Pierre André Chiappori, @M_De_Nardi, and @AlessandraVoena #ECARES30
