UMHEG SEMINAR SERIES: MATERNAL STRESS AND OFFSPRING LIFELONG LABOUR MARKET OUTCOMES
Presenter: Prof. Maarten Lindeboom, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Abstract: This paper examines the effects of maternal stress on offspring lifelong labor market
outcomes. We exploit a unique natural experiment that involved randomly placed Nazi raids
in municipalities in Italy during WWII. We link administrative data of male private sector
workers to information about war casualties and Nazi raids. Prenatal stress exposure leads to
lower wage earnings throughout the labor market career. The earnings penalty is due to
sorting in lower skill level jobs and interruptions in the working career. We also show that
workers prenatally exposed to stress face larger earnings reductions after job loss due to
mass layoffs.
