摘要
This study examines whether paid maternity leave laws affect corporate cash holdings. Using a difference-indifferences approach, we find the staggered introduction of these laws significantly reduce firm cash reserves, especially in labor-intensive industries. Further analysis indicates that increased employee productivity postadoption associates with declining cash holdings, representing a channel linking these laws to precautionary savings motives.
