Abstract

The Earned Income Tax Credit is unique among social programs in that benefits are not paid out evenly across the calendar year. We exploit this feature of the EITC to investigate how the credit influences the food expenditure patterns of eligible households. We find that eligible households spend relatively more on healthy items including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, and dairy products during the months when most refunds are paid.

劳动所得税抵免和食品消费模式
劳动所得税抵免在社会项目中是独一无二的,因为福利不是在整个日历年内均匀支付的。我们利用EITC的这一特征来研究信贷如何影响符合条件的家庭的食品支出模式。我们发现,在退税最多的月份,符合条件的家庭在新鲜水果和蔬菜、肉类和家禽以及乳制品等健康食品上的支出相对更多。
