Midwest Welfare Program and Labor Force Participation
研究美国中西部地区有资格获得新TANF福利的家庭的福利领取与劳动力参与情况，发现高工资率和低失业率会降低福利参与概率，且低收入家庭的劳动供给对工资率高度敏感。
This paper examines family welfare and labor force participation of families potentially eligible for the new Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program in the Midwest region. High wage rates and low unemployment rates decrease the probability of welfare participation. For these low-wealth families, labor supply is shown to be highly responsive to the wage rate.
