What Are Characteristics of Tangible Hope? A Guaranteed Income and Asset Experiment in Saint Paul, MN/A Children’s Savings Account Program
The City of Saint Paul’s CollegeBound Boost (Boost for short) program is the first to test combining Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) with a monthly guaranteed income payment ($500 per month; income support) and targeted quarterly CSA deposits ($250 per quarter; asset support) to families living at 300% of the poverty line or below. The current study examines how Boost participants perceive fulfilling their current and future needs with income …
A Policy Platform to Deliver Black Reparations: Building on Evidence from Child Development Accounts
Successful Black reparations require a policy for delivering payments, one that provides for effective identification, disbursement, asset protection, and asset growth over time. In this article, we suggest a structural solution (structured wealth accumulation of reparations payments) to a structural challenge (deeply embedded racial wealth inequality). Analyzing evidence from a longitudinal experiment, we find that Child Development Accounts (CD…
Children’s Savings Accounts and Rural Children’s College Expectations: The Case of Kickstart Newaygo County
Young children’s educational expectations for themselves, conceptualized as a college-bound identity (CBI), is theorized as an important and, fortunately, malleable self-concept predictive of educational attainment. Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) are emerging as an important intervention for shaping these expectations but have remained understudied among rural populations. This study utilizes survey data from a measure of CBI collected from N…
“Freedom to Think What Could Be Best for Our Family”: A Guaranteed Income Experiment in CollegeBound St. Paul/A Children’s Savings Account Program
The City of Saint Paul’s CollegeBound Boost (Boost for short) program is the first to test combining Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) with a monthly guaranteed income payment ($500 per month) and targeted quarterly CSA deposits ($250 per quarter) to families living at 300% of the poverty line or below. The goal of this study is to understand policy implications of focusing on meeting basic needs today versus security and growth needs for tomorr…
The Role of Children’s Savings Accounts in Promoting Savings for College Among Welfare Recipients: The Case of Harold Alfond College Challenge (Hacc)
Using Children’s Savings Accounts and Early Awards to Build College Savings among Welfare Recipients: The Case of Promise Scholars
Prior research indicates that welfare receipt negatively affects households’ planning and saving for offspring’s post-secondary education. Recently, a growing body of literature suggests that Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) are effective in increasing the saving rate of American households. Findings of this study suggests that welfare receipt is negatively associated with saving for college; Promise Scholars is positively associated with savin…

Association between Children’s Saving Account and Parent Rated Children’s Health: A Preliminary Study
Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) are interventions designed to build educational assets for school-age children. The positive effects of having a CSA has been established for mental health and developmental outcomes, yet no studies to date have examined how CSAs affect children’s physical health. This study uses data from Harold Alfond College Challenge, the oldest and one of the most well-known CSA programs in the United States, to evaluate th…
An Examination of Parental College Expectations’ Mediating Role between Children’s Savings Accounts and Children’s Educational Attainment by Income Level
Even though ownership of a Children’s Savings Account (CSA), children’s academic achievement, and parental college expectations are potentially key components for closing the inequality gap in education, the interdependence of these elements is not yet fully understood. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior, we utilize structural equation modeling (SEM) in this cross-sectional study to examine the mediating role of parental college expectation…

Children's savings accounts (CSAs) provide early asset-building opportunities to reduce disparities in children's outcomes, particularly regarding postsecondary education and financial well-being. Promise Indiana (PI) is a state-supported and community-driven CSA program for children in kindergarten through third grade. This study used a mixed methods approach to better understand savings behaviors and perceptions among PI participants. Administr…

The Relationship between Income and Net Worth in the United States: A Virtuous Cycle for High- but Not Low-Income Households
Is there a reciprocal relationship between household income and net worth and does that relationship depend on initial income? Using cross-lagged panel models of household income and net worth data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, the authors compare the income-wealth relationships of high- and low-income households from 1989 to 2011. Adjusting for demographic differences, the authors find a reciprocal relationship between income and weal…

Educational and Financial Institutions Partnering to Implement CSAs: Evaluation of Financial Partners’ Perspectives from the 2011 Gear UP Invitational Priority
Educational and financial institutions are increasingly partnering to open Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs); however, little is known about these partnerships’ effectiveness for planning and implementing CSAs. A 2011 invitational priority from the Department of Education encouraged partnerships between Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) programs and financial institutions to open CSAs for low-income stude…

Staying on Course: The Effects of Savings and Assets on the College Progress of Young Adults
Increasingly, college graduation is seen as a necessary step toward achieving the American Dream. However, large disparities exist in graduation rates. For many families, the current family income is not enough to finance college. Therefore, many young adults have to rely on education loans, which may be difficult to repay, leaving them strapped with debt after leaving college. This study examines the potential role of assets and savings for prom…
Suppressor Variables in Social Work Research: Ways to Identify in Multiple Regression Models
Suppressor variables may be more common in social work research than what is currently recognized. We review different types of suppressor variables and illustrate systematic ways to identify them in multiple regression using four statistics: R2, sum of squares, regression weight, and comparing zero-order correlations with respective semipartial correlations

Predicting Savings From Adolescence to Young Adulthood: A Propensity Score Approach
This paper examines the progression of savings between adolescence and young adulthood. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we ask whether the likelihood of having a savings account in young adulthood and the amount of savings can be significantly predicted by two factors: having a savings account during adolescence and having parents who own assets. Descriptive statistics reveal that adolescents with savings accounts are more oft…

Computers Take Flight: A History of Nasa's Pioneering Digital Fly-by-Wire Project
An overview of the NASA F-8 Fly-by Wire project is presented. The project made two significant contributions to the new technology: (1) a solid design base of techniques that work and those that do not, and (2) credible evidence of good flying qualities and the ability of such a system to tolerate real faults and to continue operation without degradation. In 1972 the F-8C aircraft used in the program became he first digital fly-by-wire aircraft t…
