Book excerpt: Abstract: In August 1996, Congress passed the Personal Responsibility Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act. This act eliminated Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the largest source of cash assistance available to needy families, and replaced it with Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a time-limited program with stringent work requirements. This dissertation utilizes interstate variation in pre-reform passage of waivers to examine the impact of the new system on individual behavior.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public policy plays a vital role in almost every sector of the modern society. In particular, economic policies and regulations affect the decision-making process of market participants either directly or indirectly. The design and reform of economic policies often have intended or unintended micro-level consequences, affecting the welfare of ordinary households and the development of local communities. This dissertation investigates such policy-induced effects on three particular matters, with evidence from both China and the United States. In the context of China, reforms on the land tenure system and the household registration (hukou) system affect the land and labor allocation within rural households, resulting in changes to their economic welfare. On the other hand, in the U.S. context, the disbursement schedule of monthly food stamp benefits is directly linked to the consumption pattern of recipient households, which in turn affects the prevalence and severity of food security in the local communities. As such, a seemingly minor change in the timing of welfare payment can potentially lead to significant changes in the observed incidence of crime and violent conduct. Based on all the empirical findings, I discuss related policy implications accordingly in either context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post welfare reform era, there has been a growing interest in understanding the incidence and characteristics of multiple program participation, as well as concerns about the "disconnected," those who appear to have no other source of income but who are not accessing available public support. While past research has been particularly useful in understanding multiple program participation and disconnection in relation to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), new patterns of program participation suggest the importance of considering broader populations and sources of support other than TANF. This dissertation, comprising three empirical studies, makes contributions to our understanding of the changing incidence and pattern of multiple program participation and disconnection over the last two decades among low-income families, in particular Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants, by utilizing comprehensive administrative data from Wisconsin. The first essay compares the extent and pattern of multiple program participation and disconnection between TANF and SNAP families with children over the past two decades. This study focuses on the sensitivity of alternative measures of disconnection in identifying the disconnected. The second essay assesses the effect of age-related eligibility rules on TANF, Medical Assistance (MA), and SNAP participation by utilizing a Regression Discontinuity (RD) model, which exploits the fact that TANF and MA eligibility status changes immediately when the youngest child reaches age 18 or 19. RD estimates confirm that the youngest child turning 18 or 19 years old led a significant decrease in the mean predicted TANF or MA participation rates across cohorts; and provide modest evidence that the youngest child turning 18 years old is statistically significantly associated with a decrease in the likelihood of SNAP participation for parents in the 2000 cohort. The third essay examines the changing nature of joint participation in SNAP and Unemployment Insurance (UI) by comparing the pre-recession and recession cohorts. This study finds that an increasing proportion of joint participants received UI before SNAP entry; and they were less likely to continue to receive SNAP after leaving UI. However, the likelihood of receiving SNAP after UI exit increased during the long economic downturn.
