Effects of State-Level Earned Income Tax Credit Laws on Birth Outcomes by Race and Ethnicity
Purpose: Health disparities persist in birth outcomes by mother's income, education, and race in the United States.

We examined the effects of state-level EITCs on birth outcomes among women with a high school education or less, stratified by race and ethnicity. Methods: A quasi-experimental multistate and multiyear differe…

The Effect of an Increased Minimum Wage on Infant Mortality and Birth Weight
Objectives. To investigate the effects of state minimum wage laws on low birth weight and infant mortality in the United States. Methods. We estimated the effects of state-level minimum wage laws using a difference-in-differences approach on rates of low birth weight ( Results. Across all models, a dollar increase in the minimum wage above the federal level was associated with a 1% to 2% decrease in low birth weight births and a 4% decrease in po…
Is youth smoking responsive to cigarette prices? Evidence from low- and middle-income countries
Cigarette price is an important determinant of smoking. The estimated price elasticity of smoking participation is -0.74, and the estimated price elasticity of conditional cigarette demand is approximately -1.37. The total price elasticity of cigarette demand is -2.11, implying that an increase in price of 10% would reduce youth cigarette consumption by 21.1% at the mean
