Although entrepreneurial activity is an important part of a capitalist economy, only a small amount of data is available about U.S. businesses in their first years of operation. As part of an effort to gather more data on new businesses in the United States, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation sponsored the Kauffman Firm Survey (KFS), a panel study of new businesses founded in 2004 and tracked over their early years of operation. The Foundation contracted with Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. (MPR) to conduct the KFS, which collects data about the nature of new business formation activity; characteristics of the strategy, offerings, and employment patterns; the nature of the financial and organizational arrangements of these businesses; and the characteristics of their founders.
虽然创业活动是资本主义经济的重要组成部分，但关于美国企业最初几年运营的数据很少。为了收集更多关于美国新企业的数据，考夫曼基金会(Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation)发起了考夫曼公司调查(KFS)，这是一项针对2004年成立的新企业的小组研究，并对它们运营的最初几年进行了跟踪。基金会与Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. (MPR)签订合同，进行KFS，收集有关新业务形成活动性质的数据;战略、产品和就业模式的特点;这些业务的财务和组织安排的性质;以及他们的创始人的特点。

In 1996, welfare reform legislation imposed a 60-month lifetime limit on TANF benefits. The authors use four waves of data from the Women’s Employment Study to determine which personal characteristics are associated with accumulating months on TANF at low (less than 20 months of receipt), medium (20 to 39 months), and high (40 to 60 months) levels. They find that many of the same factors are associated with being in both the medium and high accumulation groups, relative to the low group. However, demographic variables, such as the presence of a partner, race, and the number of children seem to matter more in determining whether someone will accumulate a low as opposed to a medium amount of time on TANF. The presence of human capital problems, as well as persistent personal and family challenges—such as children with health problems, domestic violence, and drug use—all greatly increase the likelihood of accumulating many months toward the 60-month time limit.
1996年，福利改革立法规定TANF福利的有效期为60个月。作者使用了来自women ' s Employment Study的四波数据，以确定哪些个人特征与TANF累积月数有关，分别为低(少于20个月)、中(20至39个月)和高(40至60个月)水平。他们发现，与低积累组相比，中积累组和高积累组中有许多相同的因素。然而，人口统计变量，如伴侣的存在、种族和孩子的数量，似乎在决定一个人是否会在TANF上积累较低的时间还是中等的时间方面更为重要。人力资本问题的存在，以及持续存在的个人和家庭挑战——比如有健康问题的儿童、家庭暴力和吸毒——都极大地增加了向60个月时限累积许多月的可能性。

Despite the perception that few people are served by public psychiatric hospitals, they play a critical role in the continuum of care for people with mental illness. Although the capacity of these hospitals has diminished as a result of deinstitutionalization, they continue to serve people with severe and chronic mental illness who do not have the resources to seek care elsewhere, as well as a forensic population with mental illness. Furthermore, Medicaid is funding an increasing share of their operations, with states accessing a variety of Medicaid funding sources, including Disproportionate Share Hospital payments, Institutions for Mental Diseases optional services, and Medicaid managed care.

How college price influences student decisions about whether and where to attend college is an important issue. The District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Grant Program allows those who qualify to attend public colleges and universities in other states at considerably lower "in-state" tuitions. This paper examines whether the grant program has effects on the likelihood that DC high school graduates apply to and enroll in college, finding that applications to four-year colleges increased substantially under the program.

The final report to Congress presents complete findings from our seven-year national evaluation of Early Head Start. The findings show that the program promotes learning and the parenting that supports it within the first three years of life. Participating children perform significantly better in cognitive, language, and social-emotional development than their peers who do not participate. The program also has important impacts on many aspects of parenting and the home environment, and it supports parents’ progress toward economic self-sufficiency.

Much of the research examining the question of how federal financial aid affects decisions to enroll in college has focused on the behavior of students immediately following graduation, leaving unanswered the question of how changes in the availability of aid affects the behavior of older students. This article examines how changes in the means-tested federal Pell grant program affect enrollment decisions of potential students in their twenties and thirties. The results indicated sizable effects of the introduction of the Pell grant program on college enrollment decisions for older students.
