Welfare and Employment Dynamics Using Matched Data

产品说明：这个应用程序概述了一个研究的福利和就业动态使用匹配的数据从三个城市的研究和行政记录从各种政府福利和就业来源。三城研究是一项主要的福利监测项目，它收集了波士顿、芝加哥和圣安东尼奥一组低收入家庭的纵向调查数据。已经收集了两波（1999年和2000 - 2001年），第三波将在2005年进行。该项目有一个数据收集目标和一个分析目标。(1)数据收集的目标是从TANF，食品券，失业保险和其他几个公共援助和社会服务机构收集调查中家庭的行政记录，将它们与调查相匹配，并为其他研究人员开发限制使用文件。匹配的数据集将是研究福利改革和福利动态的一个非常独特的数据集，应该会引起广泛的兴趣。(2)分析目标是利用匹配数据，采用最先进的计量经济学方法对福利和就业动态进行初步分析，并进行一系列额外的实质性和方法分析。这些额外的分析包括研究使用调查数据和全域的有效估计模型的方法（不只是配对样本）的行政数据;对事件历史调查中众所周知的接缝问题的研究;对工作要求、时间限制和制裁对福利使用和就业结果的影响的审查;以及对移民子女的福利参与、拉丁美洲人的就业模式、老龄化的低收入母亲和芝加哥社会服务使用的研究。

DESCRIPTION: This application outlines a study of welfare and employment dynamics using matched data from the Three City Study and administrative records from various governmental welfare and employment sources. The Three City Study is a major welfare monitoring project which has gathered longitudinal survey data on a set of low income families in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio. Two waves (1999 and 2000 2001) have been gathered and a third wave will take place in 2005. This project has a data collection goal and an analysis goal. (1) The data collection goal is to gather administrative records from TANF, Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance, and several other public assistance and social service agencies on the families in the survey, to match them to the survey, and to develop a restricted use file for other researchers. The matched data set will be a very unique one for the study of welfare reform and welfare dynamics and should be of broad interest. (2) The analysis goal is to use the matched data to conduct a primary analysis of welfare and employment dynamics using state of the art econometric methods and to conduct series of additional substantive and methodological analyses. These additional analyses include a study of methods of efficient estimation models which use the survey data and the universe (not just the matched sample) of administrative data; a study of the well known seam problem in event history surveys; an examination of the effects of work requirements, time limits and sanctions on welfare use and employment outcomes; and studies of welfare participation of children of immigrants, employment patterns of Latinas, aging low income mothers, and social service use in Chicago.
