In-Kind Housing Transfers and Labor Supply: A Structural Approach
估计了一个动态生命周期模型，研究住房券对就业的长期影响，发现当前政策使女性就业降低17%、男性降低7%，而定额补贴改革可使女性就业提高4%并提升福利。
This paper estimates a dynamic life cycle model to study the long-term impacts of housing vouchers on employment and examine how policy reforms affect labor supply and well-being. I show that the current program decreases female employment by 17% and male employment by 7%. Compared with the current program, a proposed reform that provides every recipient with a flat-rate subsidy increases female employment by 4% and leads to higher welfare. Policies that offer a lower subsidy to a larger population decrease employment by 3%–4% and increase welfare. Time-limited subsidies increase female employment by 4% and improve overall welfare.
