요약This dissertation explores two topics: workplace flexibility policies and parental investment into child human capital. The first chapter studies how parents' time and goods investments into their children are affected by household income and family size. The second chapter investigates the mechanisms determining the provision of flexibility policies, as well as the welfare effects of these policies. The third chapter examines how flexibility is measured in the literature, and develops occupation-level proxy measures of flexibility for use by researchers. In Chapter 1, I introduce a model of parental investment in child human capital featuring multiple investment types, static and dynamic investment choices, and multiple children. I find evidence that children of low-income parents experience a larger quality-quantity trade-off compared to the children of high-income parents. The estimated model can replicate this and other patterns of parental investments and child outcomes. Chapter 2 provides the first economic analysis of the allocation and welfare effects of workplace flexibility policies. Using data on workplace flexibility and other non-wage amenities from the ATUS and CPS, I find that among all the amenities studied, flexibility uniquely has a significant relationship with workers' intensive labor supply and timing of labor hours. I also find evidence that employers take this labor supply endogeneity into account when choosing to offer flexibility. Next I develop a model of a labor market in which heterogeneous firms compete for workers via bundles of wages and flexibility policies. Analysis of data simulated from the calibrated model reveals a compensating wage differential of flexibility of about 7 percent. Welfare analysis shows that workplace flexibility policies strongly benefit women by reducing the gender wage gap and female unemployment, and provides a net benefit for male workers and low-productivity firms. In Chapter 3, I use the American Time Use Survey to develop four workplace flexibility policy variables that capture several important dimensions of flexibility. I develop occupation-level measures of these flexibility policies by employing a machine learning approach. These flexibility policy indices are available for 481 Census occupation codes and are shown to be highly predictive of occupation-level access to workplace flexibility policies.

■520    ▼aThis  dissertation  explores  two  topics:  workplace  flexibility  policies  and  parental  investment  into  child  human  capital.  The  first  chapter  studies  how  parents'  time  and  goods  investments  into  their  children  are  affected  by  household  income  and  family  size.  The  second  chapter  investigates  the  mechanisms  determining  the  provision  of  flexibility  policies,  as  well  as  the  welfare  effects  of  these  policies.  The  third  chapter  examines  how  flexibility  is  measured  in  the  literature,  and  develops  occupation-level  proxy  measures  of  flexibility  for  use  by  researchers.  In  Chapter  1,  I  introduce  a  model  of  parental  investment  in  child  human  capital  featuring  multiple  investment  types,  static  and  dynamic  investment  choices,  and  multiple  children.  I  find  evidence  that  children  of  low-income  parents  experience  a  larger  quality-quantity  trade-off  compared  to  the  children  of  high-income  parents.  The  estimated  model  can  replicate  this  and  other  patterns  of  parental  investments  and  child  outcomes.  Chapter  2  provides  the  first  economic  analysis  of  the  allocation  and  welfare  effects  of  workplace  flexibility  policies.  Using  data  on  workplace  flexibility  and  other  non-wage  amenities  from  the  ATUS  and  CPS,  I  find  that  among  all  the  amenities  studied,  flexibility  uniquely  has  a  significant  relationship  with  workers'  intensive  labor  supply  and  timing  of  labor  hours.  I  also  find  evidence  that  employers  take  this  labor  supply  endogeneity  into  account  when  choosing  to  offer  flexibility.  Next  I  develop  a  model  of  a  labor  market  in  which  heterogeneous  firms  compete  for  workers  via  bundles  of  wages  and  flexibility  policies.  Analysis  of  data  simulated  from  the  calibrated  model  reveals  a  compensating  wage  differential  of  flexibility  of  about  7  percent.  Welfare  analysis  shows  that  workplace  flexibility  policies  strongly  benefit  women  by  reducing  the  gender  wage  gap  and  female  unemployment,  and  provides  a  net  benefit  for  male  workers  and  low-productivity  firms.  In  Chapter  3,  I  use  the  American  Time  Use  Survey  to  develop  four  workplace  flexibility  policy  variables  that  capture  several  important  dimensions  of  flexibility.  I  develop  occupation-level  measures  of  these  flexibility  policies  by  employing  a  machine  learning  approach.  These  flexibility  policy  indices  are  available  for  481  Census  occupation  codes  and  are  shown  to  be  highly  predictive  of  occupation-level  access  to  workplace  flexibility  policies.
