Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
The 1993 expansions of the Earned Income Tax Credit created the
first meaningful separation in benefits between families containing
two or more children and those with only one child. If income is protective
of health, we should see improvements over time in the health
for mothers eligible for these higher EITC benefits. Using data from
the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance Survey, we find improvements
in self-reported health for affected mothers. Using data from
the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we find
reductions in the probability of having risky levels of biomarkers for
these same women
