Self-Employment Among the Poor: Does It Pay Off
We find that in a typical year, between 2010 and 2019, there were an estimated 887,778 self-employed poor people in the U.S. The self-employed poor (vs. poor wage/salary workers) are less likely to belong to racial/ethnic minority groups, more educated, and more likely to be homeowners. Self-employment does not appear to pay off for America's poor. The poor experience an entrepreneurial earnings penalty (the loss in earnings being self-employed v…
A Fair Comparison: Women's and Men's Farms at Seven Scales in the United States☆
Successful farms-in the public imagination, agricultural policy, and more-tend to be highly profitable and operate at extremely large scales. Research has shown that women are less likely to operate these types of farms, possibly due to their preferences and lifestyle choices. There is evidence, however, that these gaps are additionally the result of differences in access to resources due to gender discrimination. Patterns of inequity in land inh…
Working yet Poor: A Quantitative Analysis for the United States
This study uses Current Population Survey data and econometric techniques to examine whether working poor households improve their economic wellbeing by working more hours. For working households overall, full-time work puts them in a 49–78% better position than part-time work (as measured by resources-to-need and depending on methodology). For poor families, however, full-time work makes them 1.3–2.7% better off than part-time work. The latter f…

Intergenerational and ethnonational disparities in Hispanic immigrant self-employment
Hispanics are important contributors to the self-employment sector. Their entrepreneurial activity varies by immigration status and ethnonational subgroup. We comparatively examine the self-employment of Hispanics who immigrated as adults, those who immigrated as children, and non-immigrants of four groups in the United States: Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Southern South Americans. We investigate intergenerational assimilation through sel…
Distributional impacts of food assistance: How SNAP payments to the rural poor affect incomes in the urban core
Queer Farmers in the 2017 US Census of Agriculture
Research suggests queer farmers are both more prevalent than expected and different from other farmers in significant ways. Using 2017 USDA Census of Agriculture data, we investigate this premise using an innovative coding scheme to identify two-producer farms run by men married to men and women married to women. Our findings suggest a good deal of farms are run by queer farmers and are they significantly different in several ways from non-queer …

Surviving the Great Recession: The influence of income inequality in US urban counties
While there has been extensive research on the role of income inequality in economic growth, there has been less investigation as to the role of income inequality on economic resilience. This paper addresses the relationship between income inequality and resilience by evaluating the vulnerability of urban counties in the United States entering recession between 2006 and 2010 and tests whether income inequality contributes to their probability of …
