Unemployment Insurance Effects on Child Academic Outcomes: Results from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Children and Youth Services Review 47,3 (December 2014): 246-252. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0190740914003430 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Modeling, Fixed Effects; Modeling, Instrumental Variables; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Unemployment Insurance Despite evidence linking parental unemployment spells and negative child outcomes, there is very little research that explores how participation in the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program could buffer these effects. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79 (NLSY79) and Children of the NLSY79 data, we estimate a series of fixed effects and instrumental variables models to estimate the relationship between UI participation and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test (math and reading comprehension). Once we control for the non-random selection process into UI participation, our results suggest a positive relationship between UI participation and PIAT math scores. None of the models suggests a negative influence of UI participation on child outcomes. |
