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.

Market-Level Effects of Childcare Subsidies ifo Institute, Germany This paper examines the market-level effects of a universal childcare subsidy introduced in Poland in 2024. Exploiting the nationwide rollout of a childcare voucher in a system with predominantly private provision and low pre-reform enrollment, I use novel monthly administrative data covering all providers to estimate causal effects on fees, capacity, and enrollment. The voucher increases enrollment by 8 percent and capacity by 10 percent within fourteen months, primarily through the entry of new establishments. Effects vary across markets: enrollment rises most in rural areas and in towns and suburbs, while in cities the reform mainly induces reallocation from public to private providers. Although private providers enter low-coverage markets, they do not expand into pre-reform “childcare deserts.” The increase in municipalities with at least one provider is driven entirely by public provision. The voucher also accelerates expansion initiated by an earlier supply-side program, highlighting differences between demand- and supply-side instruments.
