Cost of higher education
The Higher Education Reauthorization Act (HERA) of 2006 eliminated so called the “50 percent rule” that prohibited students enrolled in post-secondary institutions offering 50% or more of their courses exclusively online to receive any federal financial aid (Title IV aid). In this paper we study the net cost of attending colleges and additionally test for so-called “Bennett” hypothesis that assumes that the Title IV aid, that became available aft…
Sample Conditions Under Which Bias in IV Estimates can be Signed
The relative size of the treated and untreated groups, or the T/UT ratio, in an analysis sample often diverges from the T/UT ratio in the population (or original sample) because of choice‐based sampling and missing values. While divergences of the sample from the population T/UT ratio do not generate bias for many estimators, instrumental variable (IV) estimates might be biased by such divergences even when (1) the IV is analytically valid for th…
Applying Behavioral Insights in Policy Analysis
An understanding of human nature and of the motivations that drive human behavior have always informed public policies. The use of behavioral research in public policy analysis, which flows largely from social and cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and other behavioral sciences, came into sharp focus in the last decade. Since then, policy initiatives incorporating behavioral insights have flourished, and thousands of research articles ha…
Mixed‐Status Families and WIC Uptake
OBJECTIVE: Develop and test measures of risk of deportation and mixed-status families on WIC uptake. Mixed-status is a situation in which some family members are U.S. citizens and other family members are in the U.S. without proper authorization. METHODS: Estimate a series of logistic regressions to estimate WIC uptake by merging data from Fragile Families and Child Well-being Survey with deportation data from U.S.-Immigration Customs and Enforce…

What Works Best and When
Most evaluations are still quasi‐experimental and most recent quasi‐experimental methodological research has focused on various types of propensity score matching to minimize conventional selection bias on observables. Although these methods create better‐matched treatment and comparison groups on observables, the issue of selection on unobservables still looms large. Thus, in the absence of being able to run randomized controlled trials (RCTs) o…
Internal Versus External Validity
First, I want to thank Professor Cook for his many contributions to the field of policy analysis. I have a deep regard for him as evidenced by my many dog-eared, underlined, and highlighted copies of his books. To engage in this discussion with him is an honor. And to validate his discussion of casual inference and extrapolation from utosti to UTOSTi to *UTOSTi, I admit that I wrote my response to his opening statement at the Wagner School of Pub…

Empirical Innovations in Policy Analysis
In this article we survey the field of policy analysis from two perspectives. First, we discuss recent arguments made for and against the use of random assignment in social experimentation and policy analysis. Second, we argue that data, not methods, are driving policy analysis innovation. We review the benefits and drawbacks of three types of data—administrative data, spatial data, and Big Data—and discuss the role, or potential role, each plays…

Social Policy
In this review, we focus on current research on the major welfare program in the United States, food security programs, Social Security, Social Security Disability, Unemployment Insurance, child support, and tax provisions such as the Earned Income Tax Credit that provide substantial financial support for low‐income households and other potentially vulnerable populations such as the elderly and the unemployed. Since many of these are programs spe…

Empirical Evidence on Faith‐Based Organizations in an Era of Welfare Reform
Several recent policies encourage the involvement of faith‐based organizations (FBOs) in the delivery of social services to the poor. Relying on data from Indiana’s randomized welfare reform experiment, this article analyzes the characteristics of clients who seek and receive help from FBOs, particularly focusing on how exposure to the effects of welfare reform affects help seeking and the receipt of help. A separate analysis examines cross‐secti…

Is the inevitable consequence of economic growth a degradation of the environment? This is a particularly important question given the unprecedented increases in world population and prosperity (consumption) and the recognition that carbon emissions are undoubtedly associated with global warming. A large literature has grown up around this issue, known as the environmental Kuznets curve, which conjectures that environmental damage increases with …

Electronic Funds and Benefits Transfers, E‐Government, and the Winter Commission
This article examines how electronic funds transfers and electronic benefit transfers have become integral components of digital government. These technologies have forwarded many of the principles of the Winter Commission, including the development of lean, responsive government. The greater efficiency and cost savings for the federal and most state governments have not been achieved without encountering and dealing with serious matters related …
