  摘要：Low-income housing is often of substandard quality. Health care payers like Medicaid and Medicare are piloting reimbursement for housing quality improvement with the rationale of reducing expenses from acute care use, but little is known about whether housing quality interventions can alter health utilization. I evaluate a large-scale policy mandating remediation of NYC's worst buildings in a regression discontinuity design to estimate the causal effect of housing improvements on health utiliz...

  摘要：Black children in the U.S. are twice as likely as white children to spend time in foster care. Such racial disparities raise concerns of discrimination, but might also reflect differences in the underlying need for intervention. This paper estimates unwarranted disparities (UDs)-racial differences in placement rates for children with the same potential for future maltreatment-in national data. We use non-parametric bounds on the potential for future maltreatment that rely on weak and transpare...

  摘要：Work requirements are perhaps the most controversial aspect of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, America's sole federal cash assistance program for low-income families with children. In 2025, for the first time in nearly 20 years, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA) will implement policy changes intended to strengthen states' work requirements. However, researchers' and policymakers' understanding of how FRA will impact states' compliance with federal requirem...

  摘要：Technology-facilitated courses, completed online for the purpose of credit recovery (OCR), are the most common means through which US high school students retake courses required for high school graduation. Yet a growing body of research has raised concerns regarding student learning in these courses, with low-quality assessments posited as a limiting factor. As course assessments are fundamental to evaluating student mastery and supporting student learning, we investigate this concern by syst...

  摘要：Governments worldwide are increasingly applying management principles to policing, including performance management systems and financial incentives. We study whether eligibility for performance-based bonuses tied to crime reduction improves police outcomes. Using a quasi-experimental design and administrative data from Brazil, we evaluate an incentive-based compensation program that conditioned bonuses on reductions in violent deaths, vehicle robberies, and street robberies. Our results show ...

  摘要：We evaluate the effects of the nationwide transition in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) from paper vouchers to Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards on store decisions to seek authorization to accept WIC benefits. We combine novel administrative data from The Integrity Profile (USDA administrative data on stores participating in WIC and their WIC reimbursements) with new nationwide policy data on WIC EBT implementation. Using a staggered adop...
