“…We argue, therefore, that expansion of maternal education not only leads to increased time and financial investment in their children but also a more effective use of a mother's child-rearing time and better child-rearing practices. In doing so, we contribute empirical evidence to the small but growing literature on the economics of parenting (Doepke, Sorrenti, & Zilibotti, 2019;Doepke & Zilibotti, 2017). 5 We also contribute to a broader literature across the social sciences about the importance of early childhood and the long-term impact of parenting practices (Schady, Galiani, & Souza, 2006).…”

“…6 In doing so, our study contributes to a literature on the economics of parenting that tries to explain parenting decisions as rational choices that may be affected by the institutional environment (e.g. Zilliboti, 2017 andDoepke et al, 2019).…”

We estimate effects of center-based care on parenting activities using time use data for Germany. Our estimates imply that center-based care reduces the overall time that parents spend with the enrolled child, but has only small negative effects on time spent doing activities together. Correspondingly, center-based care increases activities as a share of the time spent together with the child. The overall effect is driven by households with lower maternal education. Our findings imply that child development effects of center-based care may be explained, not just by the institutional environment, but also by changes that occur within the home environment.

“…This is an important contribution to the emerging economics literature linking parenting practices and style to adolescent outcomes (see Cobb-Clark et al 2019 for a review). In particular, we contribute to the broader discussion regarding the estimation of education production functions with mismeasured and omitted inputs (see e.g., Heckman & Pinto 2015) and to a deeper understanding of the way that parenting style might respond to school inputs (e.g., Doepke et al 2019).…”
