“…While they find abortion liberalization was associated with a 2% decline in birth rates, this estimate may understate the true effect because women from states with restrictive abortion laws were known to travel to the more liberal states to obtain abortions (Pakter et al, 1973;Potts et al, 1977) Minimize PP,.~omin(A,B) + C(PP,,~) P P,.E…”

“…Data on providers are available only from 1973, so I used 1973 values for prior years in states that legalized early. 28 Non-residents account for about one half of the total abortions performed in New York City between 1970and 1972(Pakter, O'Hare, Nelson, & Svigir, 1973. 29 The instruments included husband's and wife's education levels squared and age at marriage.…”

Did the legalization of abortion increase women’s household bargaining power? Evidence from labor supply

I estimate the impact of abortion legalization on spouses’ labor supplies to test whether legalization increased women’s household bargaining power, in a collective household behavior framework. Based on CPS data, I find that wives’ labor supply decreased and their husbands’ increased, which is consistent with the bargaining hypothesis. This contrasts with most studies of abortion and birth control technologies, which predict a labor supply effect only for women, and of opposite sign. Also consistent with the bargaining interpretation, I estimate no significant impact on anti-abortion religious couples or on those who regularly used contraceptives. PSID data yield supportive evidence. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2007Legalization of abortion, Household bargaining power, Labor supply, D1, J22,

“…Between July 1970 and June 1971, 75.4 percent of the 33,964 abortions performed on adolescents in New York City were to out-of-state residents. 2 To gain some insight into the impact on teenage childbearing if legal abortion were unavailable to New York City residents, we applied the coefficients on the intervention variable in Table 2 to the projected number of births in 1988 and 1989. We adjusted for the gradual impact of a ban by the gestational age distribution of abortions prevailing today.…”

The impact of legalized abortion on adolescent childbearing in New York City.

In this paper we estimate the impact on adolescent childbearing of the liberalization of the New York State abortion law in 1970. Using Box-Jenkins time series techniques to analyze monthly data on the number of births to White and Black adolescents from January 1963 to December 1987, we found that the level of births to Black adolescents living in New York City fell 18.7 percent, approximately 142 fewer births per month, after the law became effective; the level of White births fell 14.1 percent, approximately 111 fewer births per month. Projections based on the fitted model suggest that a ban on legalized abortion today would have a major impact on adolescent childbearing in New York City as well as other parts of the country, although the magnitude of the change would vary according to local conditions.
