Work requirements come from the idea that people work less if they receive government support.
But do these programs actually reduce work? In a new WP, @ChloeNEast and I show that for most SNAP (food stamp) recipients this is in fact NOT what happens.

📢 NEW POLICY BRIEF 📢
"Many WIC beneficiaries went at least one month without redeeming anything. This cyclicality and inconsistency were likely due in part to administrative burden."

Switching to race-blind admissions lotteries increases racial segregation.
Segregation arising from mandated race-blind admissions causes student achievement and college attendance rates to decline.

My paper w @David_E_Simon on the safety net for job losers is forthcoming @JPubEcon!
Results can be summed up in a few figures & access is free for 50 days👇
32% of lost earnings replaced by public benefits (mostly UI) & this reduces poverty by 18pp, but regressive at bottom

Wrapping up #NBERSI w/ important work by @ChloeNEast & @EconJason on labor supply and SNAP disenrollment effects of work requirements.
Not much evidence for increased labor supply but rather large drops in enrollment as a consequence

This research will shed light on two key economic questions about modern transfer programs: 1) what factors impact program take-up and targeting, and how do these effects interact across programs; and 2) how do transfer programs impact participants' economic and other outcomes.
