Tesis para optar al título de Magíster en Análisis Económico / The
present
study
analyzes
the
effect
of
an
extension
to
maternity
leave
on
mothers’
health.
Using
administrative
data
from
sick
leave
records
for
84%
of
the
total
working
women
who
gave
birth
during
2011,
we
estimate
the
effect
of
this
extension
in
the
probability
of
mothers
taking
sick
leave,
after
the
maternity
leave
has
ended.
To
do
so,
we
implemented
a
fuzzy
regression
discontinuity
design,
which
took
advantage
of
the
fact
that
there
is
a
jump
in
the
probability
of
being
treated
after
a
certain
threshold
date.
The
evidence
we
found
supports
the
hypothesis
and
demonstrates
that
the
policy
has
a
positive
effect
on
mothers’
health.
