Health Insurance Reform

The literature has explored the effects of welfare policy reforms on womens labor supply. However, a comprehensive analysis has not been conducted regarding the effects of individual policy instruments in public assistance programs. This paper examines whether policy instruments in the public health insurance program affect womens labor supply decisions, specifically, after we control for the effects of policy instruments in the welfare program. The results indicate that, on average, public health insurance policy instruments did not affect womens labor supply. Our analysis implies that, regarding the recent reform on public assistance programs, the crowd-out of private health insurance for public health insurance is less likely to arise via a reduced labor supply channel.

Before And After

We study public assistance participation among homeless shelter users, characterizing the trajectories of public assistance receipt for individuals before and after they enter shelters and analyzing the influence of public assistance participation on subsequent shelter use. Our analysis identifies three distinct groups of shelter users based on personal characteristics and prior patterns of public assistance use. These groups are differentiated by their patterns of no use, increasing use, and high use of public assistance. For all three groups, increased participation in public assistance programs following the first observed homeless shelter entry reduces subsequent shelter use. The analysis draws attention to the potential role of public assistance programs and strengthened coordination of services for the prevention of homelessness.
