How Did Safety-Net Reform Affect Early Adulthood among Adolescents from Low-Income Families? National Tax Journal published online (September 2021): DOI: 10.1086/716189. Also: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/716189 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: National Tax Association Keyword(s): Childbearing; Family Income; Geocoded Data; Labor Supply; Marriage; State-Level Data/Policy Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the 1990s, the US safety net was substantially reformed. We ask how those reforms collectively affected early-career outcomes among youths who were teens when the reforms took effect. We consider employment, safety-net participation, marriage, and childbearing between the ages of 18 and 32. We take a difference-in-difference approach, tracking adolescents from two generations roughly 20 years apart. In each generation, we compare two groups, one of which was more likely to have been affected by safety-net reform than the other. We find evidence that safety-net reform increased women’s labor supply and decreased marriage. |

Evaluating the Impact of the Earned Income Tax Credit on Health Insurance Coverage National Tax Journal 58,4 (December 2005): 665-684 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Tax Association Keyword(s): Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Insurance, Health; Taxes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The goals and design of the Earned Income Tax Credit suggest that it has the potential to affect private health insurance coverage rates in its target population through income, tax price and employment effects. Results from an analysis using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth show that the EITC expansion of the mid-1990s did increase the rate of employer-based health insurance coverage in the low-skilled population. The overall effect of EITC expansions was to increase the probability of coverage by 3.8 percentage points, or approximately 375,000 more individuals who were covered by employer-provided policies between 1992 and 1998. |

Beyond The EITC: The Effect of Reducing the Earned Income Tax Credit on Labor Force Participation National Tax Journal 69,2 (June 2016): 261-284. Also: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.17310/ntj.2016.2.01 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Benefits, Child Tax; Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); Labor Force Participation We examine variation in the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) program when households lose eligibility due to children aging out of the program. This change in eligibility offers a framework for assessing whether the aim of the program of increasing work incentives extends beyond the time recipients qualify for the EITC. We estimate the impact of reducing the EITC on mothers' labor force participation using a combination of difference-in-differences and household fixed effects models, using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. The results indicate that some of those who most likely qualify for the EITC (unmarried, less educated mothers) leave the workforce when they lose the benefit. |
