Childhood Housing and Adult Outcomes: A Between-Siblings Analysis of Housing Vouchers and Public Housing
利用全国纵向数据，通过兄弟姐妹间比较发现，童年时期居住在公共住房或使用住房券能提高成年后收入，并降低入狱概率，纠正了简单回归的负面结论。
We create a national-level longitudinal dataset to analyze how children’s participation in public and voucher-assisted housing affects age-26 earnings and adult incarceration. Naïve OLS estimates suggest that returns to subsidized housing participation are negative, but that relationship is driven by household selection into assisted housing. Household fixed effects estimates indicate that additional years of public housing increase earnings by 6.2 percent for females and 6.1 percent for males, while voucher-assisted housing increases earnings by 4.8 percent for females and 2.7 percent for males. Childhood participation in assisted housing also reduces the likelihood of adult incarceration for all household race/ethnicity groups.
