The Impact of Head Start Participation on the Criminal Behavior of Teenagers New York Economic Review 28 (Fall 2007): 63- 71. Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: New York State Economics Association Keyword(s): Arrests; Behavioral Problems; Crime; Head Start Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of the present study is to estimate the effect of Head Start participation on the criminal behavior of teenagers. Using National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data, the present study finds that participation in the Head Start program does not reduce the likelihood that a person engages in criminal activity. In fact, results of the present study show that, holding all other factors constant, teenagers who had participated in the Head Start program as children were more likely to be arrested but were no more likely to commit a crime than a teenager who did not participate in the program as a child. These results are rather robust since factors such as race, sex, and family and peer influences are all held constant |

Using NLSY-Geocode Data to Determine the Effects of Taxes and Minimum Age Laws on the Alcoholic Beverage Demand of Young Adults New York Economic Review 34 (Fall 2003) 38-50. Also: http://organizations.oneonta.edu/nysea/fall2003.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: New York State Economics Association Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Geocoded Data; Geographical Variation; Modeling, Logit; State-Level Data/Policy; Taxes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the present study, OLS and logit regression analysis are used to determine the effect that minimum age laws and taxes have on alcohol consumption and binge drinking. NLSY-Geocode data are used in order to construct individual-level demand equations. The use of this data allows for the identification of the individual's state of residence and thus enables the researcher to properly match the individual to the appropriate state alcohol tax rate. Results indicate that taxes have a negative effect on alcohol consumption but no effect on binge drinking. Minimum age laws, however, are effective in reducing both the total quantity of alcohol consumed and binge drinking. |
