Despite the rapid use of reproductive and birth technologies, multiple questions regarding the impact of this technological advancement still remain. This thesis addresses these issues by focusing on the causal and long-term effects including health indicators, fertility outcomes, female empowerment and labor market outcomes. In the first chapter, I study the causal impacts of planned Cesarean section for high risk births on health, future fertility and labor market responses. In the second chapter, we examine the passage of a reform to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, mandating single embryo transfer as default. In the last chapter, we study the effect from abortion legalization in Mexico City on fertility, contraceptive use and female empowerment. eng Economic Studies 236 Cesarean Section for High-Risk Births: Short- and Long-Term Consequences for Breech Births Multiple Births, Birth Quality and Maternal Labor Supply: Analysis of IVF Reform in Sweden The Impact of Abortion Legalization on Fertility and Female Empowerment: New Evidence from Mexico fertility child health maternal health birth technology labor market response IVF neonatal health career penalty human capital formation female empowerment abortion legalization Mexico The Impact of Reproductive and Birth Technologies on Health, Fertility and Labor Outcomes Text Doctoral thesis Doctor of Philosophy hanna.muhlrad@economics.gu.se Göteborgs universitet.
