本文探讨了威斯康星州低收入职业母亲托儿补贴使用的持续时间和效果。使用事件历史模型，研究发现，母亲们可能会时断时续地改变补贴制度，而且她们的补贴周期往往会相对较快地结束。具有滞后因变量的托比特模型的结果表明，长期使用儿童保育补贴与母亲收入的增加有关。
This article explores the duration and effect of child-care subsidy use among low-income working mothers in Wisconsin. Using an event-history model, the study finds that mothers are likely to cycle on and off subsidy systems and that their subsidy spells tend to end relatively quickly. Results from a Tobit model with a lagged dependent variable suggest that long-term use of child-care subsidies is associated with increases in mothers' earnings.
