- 요약I empirically investigate the effects of different economic policies on the welfare and economic decision-making of households.In Chapter 1, I investigate how policies aimed at increasing fertility can be improved if governments provide vouchers to increase living space. I show that the current policy in Russia, which provides a voucher to buy any house if a family gives birth, could be enhanced by allowing the purchase of only large houses. This approach not only increases long-term fertility rates but also reduces overcrowding by ensuring families have access to larger living spaces.In Chapter 2, I study the dynamic effects of divorce legislation on the labor supply behavior and welfare of married couples. Using U.S. household panel data, I examine the transition from the "Title-based Regime" (TBR) in the 1970s to the "Equitable Distribution Regime" (EDR) in the 1980s. Under the former regime, marital assets are split based on formal ownership rights, allowing spouses to commit ex-ante to a future asset allocation in the event of divorce. The shift to EDR, where courts more equitably divide marital assets, interacted in two ways with household uncertainty: First, because the court chooses the division of assets, households no longer can commit to a future asset allocation. Second, because the court's decision is not fully predictable, the policy introduces a new source of uncertainty. For these reasons, EDR increased the incentives for both spouses to self-insure by working to accumulate precautionary savings during marriage. Using a staggered difference-in-differences design, I confirm empirically that both married men and women increased labor supply in response to the policy change.In Chapter 3, I build a model to show that EDR had a negative effect on the welfare of both spouses. Additionally, the model helps me to show that precautionary saving incentives are the only possible explanation for my findings within my model, even with significant model extensions like incorporating endogenous divorce or even transitioning to a collective model of household where spouses can bargain over the share of property each spouse receives upon divorce.
