We put forward an identification strategy that relies on the fact that variation of wages induces variation in benefits and tax credits among “comparable ” households. We implement this approach by estimating a discrete choice model of female participation and fertility, using individual data from the French Labor Force Survey and a fairly detailed representation of the French tax-benefit system. Our results suggest that financial incentives play a notable role in determining fertility decisions in France, both for the first and for the third child. As an example, an unconditional child benefit with a direct cost of 0.3 % of GDP might raise total fertility by about 0.3 point.
