As always, I had a great time at #appam2025!

I presented my JMP 'The Price of Parenthood: Childcare Costs and Fertility' (see thread below) and saw some great papers on childcare markets, fertility, healthcare access, and more.

👋 I'm a health and labour economist on the #EconJobMarket!

My JMP explores a factor that often comes up when talking to people about having children - childcare costs

🗣️ “It’s frustrating to read articles asking why people aren’t having kids - have they looked at the cost of childcare?”

I’ve been in Nashville 🎸🎶 for @ashecon.bsky.social.

I presented my paper ‘The Price of Parenthood: Childcare Costs and Fertility’ and work in progress on gender in doctor-patient relationships.

It was great to see familiar faces and meet new colleagues! #ASHEcon2025

I just got back from a wonderful few days at APPAM. I saw some great papers, met nice researchers, and presented my work on paid sick leave, maternal healthcare use, and health outcomes! @appam.bsky.social
