The Effects of Income Maintenance on Work, Schooling, and Non-Market Activities of Youth
利用西雅图和丹佛收入维持实验数据,研究家庭参与收入维持项目对16-21岁青少年上学和工作选择的影响,发现实验处理显著降低了工作概率,但部分被上学增加所抵消,休闲时间变化很小。
Abstracct-This paper examines the effects of family participation in an income maintenance program on the school, work, and choices of youth. A joint probability model of school and work outcomes is estimated using data from the Seattle and Denver Income Maintenance Experiments. Among youth age 16 to 21 we find the experimental treatment to be associated with a large reduction in the probability of working. This reduction is offset, at least in part, by an increase in school attendance so the net effect on leisure time is apparently quite small.
