Liberal Welfare State Policies and Health: The Effect of The Earned Income Tax Credit on Child Well-Being Presented: New Orleans, LA, Population Association of America (PAA) 2008 Annual Meeting, April 17-19, 2008 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Birth Outcomes; Birthweight; Child Development; Child Health; Children, Poverty; Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); Height; Poverty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this analysis, we investigate the health effects of liberal welfare state policies by examining how enactments and expansion of state and national earned income tax credit (EITC) programs impact the health of the children of the working poor. Using two data sources — Children of the NLSY79 and U.S. Natality Data — to conduct a difference-in-difference analysis, we examine the effect of the EITC on birth weight, preterm birth, and child height. |
