Data and Code for: "When Dad Can Stay Home: Fathers’ Workplace Flexibility and Maternal Health"

Code accompanying article with the following abstract: We study how fathers’ access to workplace flexibility affects maternal postpartum health. We use variation
from a Swedish reform that granted new fathers more flexibility to take intermittent parental leave during
the postpartum period and show that increasing the father’s temporal flexibility—and thereby his ability
to be present at home together with the mother—reduces the incidence of maternal postpartum health
complications. Our results suggest that mothers bear part of the burden from a lack of workplace flexibility
for men because a father’s inability to respond to domestic shocks exacerbates the maternal health cost of
childbearing.
