Choice Characteristics and Parents' Child-Care Decisions
Choice models are a key tool of empirically oriented rational choice researchers. However, most researchers do not have the information they need to adequately test their hypotheses and rely solely on individual characteristics of the choosers. The lack of information on the options and constraints parents face may lead researchers to conclude that choices are not rational rather than to question whether they have the appropriate data. This issue…
The Evaluation of the Washington State Family Independence Program
This volume, the result of the Urban Institute's evaluation of the Washington State Family Independence Program (FIP), examines a state's effort to implement a welfare reform program designed to help welfare families become more economically self-sufficient. The implementation of FIP was expected, relative to the regular Aid to Families with Dependent Children program, to increase participation in education, training, and employment, which would …
Price, Quality, and Income in Child Care Choice
Recent legislation may substantially expand federal assistance in paying for child care. This paper examines the potential effects of three aspects of federal assistance-reducing child care price (through vouchers or grants to providers), improving its quality (through incentives or regulation), and increasing family income (through tax credits)-on the child care choices employed mothers make. The data come from the 1985 wave of the National Long…

The reanalysis of the experimental data distinguishes between the experimental treatment in the form of the "pure" negative income…
