Very nice work here by some former colleagues: firms that export are mostly more productive *before* they export (ie it's a selection effect), but they do also become a bit more productive once they are exporting.
It's well-established that UK firms engaged in international trade are more productive, but why?

There seems to be widespread recognition that bad facts are bad news, and, despite skepticism, there is an enduring thirst for reliable information. The question is, where can it be found, and how can its purveyors make themselves heard amid the noise?

New VoxEU explainer on our work on birth timing & spacing, and what this means for the estimation of child penalties
Tl;dr: educated mums spend 25% of the 5yrs following first birth on parental leave for subsequent kids. So how you measure outcomes on PL matters, a lot!

Birth timing and spacing: Implications for parental leave dynamics and child penalties
Estimates of the impact of having children on labour market outcomes can differ significantly depending on whether a parent is categorised as employed or non-employed during parental leave. This column uses data from Denmark to explore how parental leave dynamics relate to the timing and spacing of births and subsequent labour market outcomes. The findings reveal notable disparities in birth timing and spacing based on maternal education levels. These dynamics complicate the estimation of the child penalty and its effects on gender gaps in labour market outcomes.
