Medicaid Expansions and Fertility in the United States
Beginning in the mid-1980s and extending through the early to mid-1990s, a substantial number of women and children in the United States gained eligibility for Medicaid through a series of income-based expansions. Using natality data from the National Center for Health Statistics, we estimate fertility responses to these eligibility expansions. We follow Currie and Gruber (2001) and measure changes in state Medicaid-eligibility policy by simulati…
Relative deprivation and child health in the USA
Prenatal health investment decisions
Individuals invest in their own health, but children rely on parents to act on their behalf, especially in the case of prenatal health. In this article, we ask, Do parents in the United States who choose to give birth allocate resources differently in the prenatal health of their sons and daughters when the sex of the child is known in advance?

A Closer Look at the Managed Care Backlash
BACKGROUND: Much anecdotal evidence exists regarding the managed care backlash of the late 1990s, but limited empirical evidence is available.

RESEARCH DESIGN: We present enrollment rates in employer-sponsored health plans by plan type. These plan-level enrollment rate…

We summa…
