本研究使用的数据从一个实验性的就业计划和工具变量（IV）估计，以探讨母亲的工作损失对儿童课堂行为的影响。随机分配到三个项目地点之一的治疗是就业模式的外生预测因素。治疗-对照差异的跨站点变化用于识别就业水平和过渡的影响。在某些假设下，这种方法控制了失业和儿童福利之间未观察到的相关性，以及测量误差和准确性。IV估计表明，母亲失业急剧增加问题行为，但对积极的社会行为有中性影响。目前的就业计划主要集中在就业进入，但这些研究结果指出，促进工作稳定的工人和他们的孩子的重要性。
This study uses data from an experimental employment program and instrumental variables (IV) estimation to examine the effects of maternal job loss on child classroom behavior. Random assignment to the treatment at one of three program sites is an exogenous predictor of employment patterns. Cross-site variation in treatment-control differences is used to identify the effects of employment levels and transitions. Under certain assumptions, this method controls for unobserved correlates of job loss and child well-being, as well as measurement error and simultaneity. IV estimates suggest that maternal job loss sharply increases problem behavior but has neutral effects on positive social behavior. Current employment programs concentrate primarily on job entry, but these findings point to the importance of promoting job stability for workers and their children.
