Measuring racial disparities in foster care placement: A case study of Texas
Sexual identity and the lesbian earnings differential in the U.S
Two decades of research on wage differentials by sexual orientation uses data-sets that do not ask respondents about their own sexual orientation, even though sexual identity is key to theories that explain why a wage differential might exist. We show that many women who claim a lesbian identity for themselves are not classified as lesbian by researchers using the behavioral proxies typically available in the data. Conversely, many women who desc…
Crisis and Bankruptcy: The Mediating Role of State Law, 1920-1932
The onset of the Great Depression did not spark a surge in personal bankruptcy. For debtors in default, state garnishment law played a significant role in the decision to file for bankruptcy. Only states that made it easy to garnish a debtor's wages experienced significant increases in bankruptcy as a consequence of the Depression
Religion, social capital and business bankruptcy in the United States, 1921–1932
We consider the value of social capital that derives from membership in a church. American states with larger churchgoing populations had lower business bankruptcy rates from 1921 to 1932, and states in which the churchgoing population was concentrated in few churches had business bankruptcy rates that were lower still. Both voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy were lower in states with higher church membership. The evidence suggests that church …
The Value of Adoption
Recent work shows that the governmental cost of adoption is about half the cost of long-term foster care for children whose birth parents' rights have been terminated. Because adoption is also associated with greater accumulation of human and social capital, the total savings to government in areas such as special education and criminal justice is of the same magnitude as the child welfare savings. The private benefit to adopted children in terms…
State-designated special needs, post-adoption support, and state fiscal stress
Transracial Placement in Adoptions with Public Agency Involvement: What Can We Learn from the Afcars Data
The Adoption and Safe Families Act gave incentives to states to promote adoption in an environment in which routine racial matching in adoptive placement was forbidden under the Multiethnic Placement Act/Interethnic Adoption Provisions. Adoptions of many kinds increased after the passage of ASFA. Did transracial adoptive placements also increase under ASFA? Using the public use files of the Adoption and Foster Care Reporting System for fiscal yea…
