Key Contributions
- Engelhardt and Prskawetz (2004): "On the Changing Correlation Between Fertility and Female Employment over the Last Few Decades in Europe." European Journal of Population 20(1): 35–62. Documents the cross-country TFR-FLP correlation reversal from negative to positive across 21 OECD countries and identifies three variables explaining the more pronounced TFR decline in low-FLP countries: female unemployment, age at first birth, and family allowances. See Fertility-Employment Correlation.
- Engelhardt, Kögel, and Prskawetz (2004): "Fertility and Women's Employment Reconsidered: A Macro-Level Time-Series Analysis for Developed Countries, 1960–2000." Population Studies 58(1): 109–120. Companion econometric paper using error-correction models to show that within-country TFR-FLP cointegration is consistently negative, confirming that the cross-sectional sign reversal is an aggregation artifact.
