Abstract subject:
We estimate a structural model for household labour supply and childcare use. Using the estimated structural parameters we simulate labour supply effects of changes in childcare subsidies and in-work tax credits.  External validation of the structural model comes from a comparison of a simulation of the policy reforms in our data period with the estimates from a difference-in-differences analysis on the same reforms. In-work credits are more effective in stimulating labour supply of young mothers than childcare subsidies. Both policies are more effective than an across-the-board reduction in marginal tax rates.
