利用1992和1993年收入与项目参与调查数据，分析农村女性户主家庭的福利使用时长，并与早期研究对比，评估州级福利改革对受益者行为的影响。
This paper presents results from the first stage of a larger research project to examine welfare use through analyses of data from the 1992 and 1993 panels from the Survey of Income and Program Participation. In addition, through comparison with results of earlier research, this paper provides evidence on the effectiveness of state welfare reform efforts to change the behavior of benefit recipients.
