We find no evidence that a higher weekly benefit amount (WBA) increases leave duration or leads to adverse future labor market outcomes for this group. In contrast, we document that a rise in the WBA leads to an increased likelihood of returning to the pre‐leave firm (conditional on any employment) and of making a subsequent paid family leave claim.- Reproduced Journal of Policy Analysis and Management PARENTAL LEAVE AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 390007 IIPA IIPA 2021-02-11 39(4), Fall, 2020: p.888-929 AR124279 2021-02-11 AR
