In chapter three, I explore the relationship between the early ages Child Care Tax Credit policy exposure and children's well-being measured at early ages. Using the detailed CCTC legislative variation generated by exogenous law changes and applying the variation on data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Child and Young Adult, I examine the short-term effects of the early age CCTC policy exposure on the educational achievement and behavioral problems of the child. Results show that early age CCTC policy exposure has negative effects on the reading score of the child, which shows evidence that the mother's time allocation effect dominates the income effect of the tax credit for the marginal population.
