摘要

妇女、婴儿和儿童特殊补充营养计划(WIC)是一个广泛使用的计划。先前的研究表明,WIC可以改善出生结果,但对年龄较大的儿童及其家庭影响的证据有限。我们使用回归不连续性,利用五岁时儿童不符合WIC条件时福利的损失,并检查成人和儿童的营养和实验室结果。我们发现,这对退出该项目的老年儿童几乎没有影响。但成年女性的热量摄入下降,食物不安全感增加,这表明母亲通过减少自己的摄入来保护孩子。我们发现这对家里的其他人没有影响。

Mothers as insurance: Family spillovers in WIC

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a widely used program. Previous research shows that WIC improves birth outcomes, but evidence about impacts on older children and their families is limited. We use a regression discontinuity leveraging a loss of benefits at age five when children become ineligible for WIC and examine nutritional and laboratory outcomes for adults and children. We find little impact on children who aged out of the program. But caloric intake falls and food insecurity increases among adult women, suggesting that mothers protect children by consuming less themselves. We find no effect on others in the household.
