Year: 2013

Type: preprint

Abstract: With declining population and fertility rates below replacement levels, Russia is currently facing a demographic crisis. Starting in 2007, the federal government has pursued an ambitious pro-natalist policy. Women who give birth to at least two children are entitled to \maternity capital assistance. In this paper we estimate a structural dynamic programming model of fertility and labor force participation in order to evaluate the eectiveness of the policy.
