Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We examine the impact of a positive and policy-driven change in
economic resources available in utero and during childhood. We
focus on the introduction of the Food Stamp Program, which was
rolled out across counties between 1961 and 1975. We use the Panel
Study of Income Dynamics to assemble unique data linking family
background and county of residence in early childhood to adult
health and economic outcomes. Our findings indicate access to food
stamps in childhood leads to a significant reduction in the incidence
of metabolic syndrome and, for women, an increase in economic self-sufficiency. (JEL I12, I38, J24)
