摘要

工作要求在美国的安全网项目中很常见。然而，关于工作要求在多大程度上提高了经济自给自足或屏蔽了弱势群体的证据仍然有限。使用与食品券(SNAP)和收入相关的行政数据与回归不连续设计，我们发现强有力的证据表明，工作要求使在职参与者的计划退出率提高了23个百分点(64%)。受工作要求约束的成年人的总体参与计划减少了53%。无家可归的成年人被不成比例地排除在外。我们发现没有影响就业和暗示性的证据表明，在一些规格增加收入。(j75, i18, i32, i38, j22, j31)

Employed in a SNAP? The Impact of Work Requirements on Program Participation and Labor Supply

Work requirements are common in US safety net programs. Evidence remains limited, however, on the extent to which work requirements increase economic self-sufficiency or screen out vulnerable individuals. Using linked administrative data on food stamps (SNAP) and earnings with a regression discontinuity design, we find robust evidence that work requirements increase program exits by 23 percentage points (64 percent) among incumbent participants. Overall program participation among adults who are subject to work requirements is reduced by 53 percent. Homeless adults are disproportionately screened out. We find no effects on employment and suggestive evidence of increased earnings in some specifications. (JEL H75, I18, I32, I38, J22, J31)
