Cash transfer programs:
“The Causal Effects of Unconditional Cash Transfers: Experimental Evidence from Two U.S. States”, with Alex Bartik, David Broockman, Sarah Miller, and Elizabeth Rhodes
This is a large project in the U.S. that will test the impact of receiving $1,000/month, unconditionally, for 3 years. Outcomes covered (some of these may merge but they are currently envisaged as separate papers):
Employment, work quality, and job searchTime useIncome, expenditures, and financial healthMental and physical health outcomesCognitive outcomesMaterial wellbeingSubjective, psychological, and social wellbeingPolitical and social attitudesChildren’s outcomesIntrahousehold outcomes and intimate partner violenceMigration and housing outcomesCrime“The Causal Effects of Unconditional Cash Transfers: Experimental Evidence from a Large U.S. City”, with Alex Bartik, Sarah Miller, and Elizabeth Rhodes
“The Causal Effects of Unconditional Cash Transfers: Experimental Evidence from a U.S. County”, with Alex Bartik, Sarah Miller, and Elizabeth Rhodes
“The Unclaimed Property Puzzle: Billion Dollar Bills Lying on the Sidewalk”
