Subsidized Contraceptives and Women’s Intergenerational Mobility in a Difference-in-Differences Framework.

Congratulations Matilda and Lisa Maria!

Jurys' Motivation: This essay is very well written and of high quality. It is particularly important to highlight that the paper brings a gender perspective to a field that often considers the world as gender neutral in its analyses. Furthermore, the paper applies an advanced quantitative methodology well and makes thoughtful arguments about the study's findings.
