Immigration, Female Labour Supply and Local Cultural Norms
研究两德统一后东德移民对西德女性劳动供给的影响，发现西德女性因接触东德高女性就业率文化而增加劳动参与，证据包括性别规范、跨地区友谊和托育设施变化。
Abstract We study the local evolution of female labour supply and cultural norms in West Germany in reaction to the sudden presence of East Germans who migrated to the West after reunification. These migrants grew up with high rates of maternal employment, whereas West German families mostly followed the traditional breadwinner-housewife model. We find that West German women increase their labour supply and that this holds within households. We provide additional evidence on stated gender norms, West-East friendships, intermarriage and child care infrastructure. The dynamic evolution of the effects on labour supply is best explained by local cultural learning.
