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.

Informality and Earnings Reporting: The Role of Parental Leave Benefit Duration 1: University of Wisconsin-Madison; 2: University of Chile We study how an expansion to paid maternity leave affects women’s labor market trajectories in an economy with substantial informality. Our setting is Chile’s 2011 reform that extended maternity leave from 12 to 24 weeks based on a child’s date of birth. The reform creates quasi-experimental differences in incentives to participate in formal employment around childbirth. We combine administrative birth records with longitudinal social security data and government social registry, where we observe workers’ formal and self-reported employment and earnings, to track women’s employment before and after the birth event. Using an event-study framework, we analyze dynamic adjustments in both labor force participation and the allocation between formal and informal work, allowing for anticipatory responses when eligibility depends on prior contributions. The analysis provides new evidence on how contributory maternity benefits shape employment trajectories around childbirth in high-informality environments.
