1.	The Long-Run Effect of Income on Health: Evidence from the Earned Income Tax Credits Presented: Austin TX, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Life Course Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study examines the long-term effect of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) on physical and mental health of women using exogenous policy variation. Using data from the NLSY79, we relate lifetime exposure to the EITC policy to measures of health status at age 50. We find that higher EITC exposure led to improvements in physical health by reducing the occurrence of illnesses that limit moderate and work activities and lowering the likelihood of the onset of a severe illness. However, we do not find any significant positive effects of EITC on mental health. Our findings suggest that the EITC improves physical health through multiple channels by raising income and improving health behaviors.

2.	The Long-term Effect of the Earned Income Tax Credit on Women's Physical and Mental Health Health Economics published online (22 March 2022): DOI: 10.1002/hec.4501. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hec.4501 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); Health, Mental/Psychological; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using a novel method, and data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79), we estimate the cumulative, long-term, causal effect of Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) eligibility on women's physical and mental health at age 50. We find that an increase in lifetime eligible EITC benefits is associated with long-term improvements in physical health, such as reduced occurrence of activity-limiting health problems and reduced reported diagnoses of mild and severe diseases. We explore intermediate health behaviors and outcomes, and find that an increase in lifetime eligible EITC benefits increases the number of hours worked and access to employer-sponsored health insurance, and decreases body mass index in the short-term. We find no significant effects of the EITC on mental health at age 50. Finally, we find that White women benefit disproportionately from the EITC in terms of mobility-related health issues, while Black and Hispanic women benefit in terms of lung-related illnesses like asthma, as well as cancer and stroke.

3.	Reconsidering the Crowded Nest: Wealth Accumulation of Young Adults before and after Leaving Parental Home Presented: Miami FL, Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Annual Fall Research Conference, November 12-14, 2015 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Keyword(s): Assets; Debt/Borrowing; Educational Attainment; Residence; Residence, Return to Parental Home/Delayed Homeleaving; Wealth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study presents an explanatory analysis of parent-child coresidence and the wealth accumulation of young adults using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). We conduct our empirical analysis in three steps. First, we investigate the assets and debt holdings of young adults who never left parental home (failure-to-launch), those who started living independently and those who moved out of the parental home but returned (boomerang). Compared to boomerang children, young adults who never left parental home have higher net worth because of lower mortgage and non-housing debt. Young adults who live independently between the ages of 20 and 25 also have higher net worth than boomerang children because they are more likely to own their primary residence and accumulate home equity. We did not find any significant difference in educational loans between those who never left parental home and boomerang children. Second, we investigate change in assets and debt between the ages of 20 and 25 by the coresidence status. Young adults who never left parental home experience an increase in financial assets from age 20 to 25 compared to boomerang children while college graduates who left home between ages 23 to 25 have higher non-housing debt. Finally, we examine the factors that influence the coresidence status of young adults. Educational attainment, marital status and race are more strongly correlated with coresidential decisions than young adults' earnings and working status.
