Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We study the short-term impact of Connecticut's Jobs First welfare
reform experiment on women's labor supply and welfare participation
decisions. A nonparametric optimizing model is shown to restrict
the set of counterfactual choices compatible with each woman's
actual choice. These revealed preference restrictions yield informative
bounds on the frequency of several intensive and extensive margin
responses to the experiment. We find that welfare reform induced
many women to work but led some others to reduce their earnings in
order to receive assistance. The bounds on this latter "opt-in" effect
imply that intensive margin labor supply responses are nontrivial.
