We develop an empirical model that accommodates both the location and fertility choices of households to take into account their self-selected migration across municipalities. We estimate the structural parameters using cross-sectional microdata on Japanese households in metropolitan areas. The results suggest that self-selection may generate substantial upwa+V48rd bias in the estimated impacts of pronatal policies on fertility. We also find that, after controlling for self selection bias, some types of noncash benefit pronatal policies significantly increase the probability of births occurring in metropolitan households, although the magnitudes differ significantly by revenue and birth parity., JEL Classification Codes: J13, J61, H75, 経済学 / Economics}, title = {Estimating the Effects of Pronatal Policies on Residential Choice and Fertility} }
