I examine whether state laws that changed the default payment method for child support affected fathers' frequency of contact with their children and their provision of in-kind support. Within-state variation in the timing of child support orders around withholding laws and the variation in implementation of state withholding laws are used to instrument for withholding status. For fathers who are not in arrears, withholding reduces the amount of time fathers spend with their children and the likelihood of providing in-kind support. Results are consistent with previous experimental work suggesting that automatic payment methods such as credit cards or automatic payments alter consumption behavior.

This paper examines the impact of policies and programs implemented by the United States federal government during the 1990's on poor Americans. The primary objective of this review is to determine how poverty reduction policies and programs, along with the significant economic expansion of the United States economy during the 1990's impacted the economic predicament of people living below the poverty line.
