Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Employer Responses to Sick Leave Programs 1: IECON - Universidad de La República, Uruguay; 2: Federal Reserve Board; 3: University of Siena; 4: IECON - Universidad de La República, Uruguay We study how firms adjust to more generous paid sick leave. Exploiting a 2011 Uruguayan reform that gradually raised the benefit cap, we implement a difference-in- differences design with employer–employee data, comparing firms with pre-reform exposure measured by the share of workers eligible for higher benefits. More-exposed firms experience a large increase in sick-leave incidence among eligible workers, with little change in spell duration. Earnings growth is 1–6% lower, while employment rises by 3% relative to less-exposed firms.
