Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Little is known about the effects of placing children who are abused or neglected into
foster care. This paper uses the placement tendency of child protection investigators
as an instrumental variable to identify causal effects of foster care on long-term
outcomes—including juvenile delinquency, teen motherhood, and employment—
among children in Illinois where a rotational assignment process effectively randomizes
families to investigators. Large marginal treatment effect estimates suggest
caution in the interpretation, but the results suggest that children on the margin of
placement tend to have better outcomes when they remain at home, especially older
children. (JEL H75, I38, J13)
