In Chapter 1, "Does it Pay to Delay? Decomposing the Effect of First Birth Timing on Women's Wage Growth", I estimate the effect of the timing of a woman's first child on her wage path, and decompose this effect to establish the mechanism by which timing affects wages. Relying on fertility instruments to address possible endogeneity, I find that a one-year delay increases women's wage growth over the first 15 years of her career by 3 to 5 percent. I then assess the mechanism by which timing affects wages by considering its intermediate effect on factors central to theories of wage growth. I find that the three most important economic channels speak to the influence of timing on the pattern of human capital accumulation: hours worked, the length of the longest labor force exit, and schooling. I also find that their relative importance varies by education. Whereas for college graduates the influence of fertility delay arises most strongly from its effect on time off from work (thus protecting human capital from depreciation), for those with less education the more relevant channel is through hours worked (the accumulation of general human capital on the job).

In Chapter 2, "Opt-Out Patterns Across Careers: Labor Force Participation Rates Among Highly Educated Mothers", Catherine Wolfram and I examine the propensity of highly-educated women to exit the workforce at motherhood. We focus on differences across women by graduate degree to assess the capacity to combine children with work over a variety of high-education career paths. Working with a sample of Harvard alumnae observed 10 and 15 years after graduation, we find that the labor force attachment of mothers is highest among MDs and lowest among MBAs and women with no advanced degree. We then use a rich set of biographical information, combined with data on workplaces, to try to disentangle whether the patterns observed reflect selection or variation in the difficulty of combining work with family. While we ultimately cannot rule out all explanations based on selection, our results suggest that work environment contributes to women's decision to exit the labor force at motherhood.
