Children's social care and early intervention policy: Evidence from sure start
We study the effect of a key early intervention policy, designed to support families with children up to age 4, on the rate at which children up to age 9 are taken into social care. The gradual build‐up of over 3600 Sure Start Children's Centres (SSCCs), operated by Local Authorities (LAs) across England, created large spatial and cohort variation in the provision of a service that included health and parenting support, early learning and some ch…
The Dynamics of Domestic Violence: Learning about the Match
We present a dynamic lifecycle model of women’s choices with respect to partnership status, labour supply and fertility when they cannot directly observe whether a given male partner is of a violent type or not. The model is estimated by the method of simulated moments using longitudinal data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. The results indicate that uncertainty about a partner’s abusive type creates incentives for women …
Higher education financing and the educational aspirations of teenagers and their parents
Unemployment and Domestic Violence: Theory and Evidence
Does rising unemployment really increase domestic violence as many commentators expect? The contribution of this article is to examine how changes in unemployment affect the incidence of domestic abuse. Theory predicts that male and female unemployment have opposite‐signed effects on domestic abuse: an increase in male unemployment decreases the incidence of intimate partner violence, while an increase in female unemployment increases domestic ab…
What a difference a term makes: The effect of educational attainment on marital outcomes in the UK
Inefficient households and the mix of government spending
Stratification, Social Networks in the Labour Market, and Intergenerational Mobility
Young individuals, taking the locational choices made by their altruistic parents as given, decide whether or not to acquire skills. The use of location-specific word-of-mouth communication in the transmission of information about (skilled) job opportunities implies that the local social environment partly determines an individual's expected returns to education. Stratified equilibria, when they exist, are characterised by low intergenerational s…
A Dynamic Model of the Black Economy
A dynamic equilibrium model of an economy with underground trade is developed in which agents devote effort to search, building up networks of underground contacts. The model is used to illustrate dynamic responses to tax increases. The model is shown to be consistent with the stylized fact that the underground economies have continued to grow in many countries after taxes have stopped increasing. The model is also used to explore how optimal pol…
Voluntary income sharing and the design of unemployment insurance
Self‐enforcing Intergenerational Transfers and the Provision of Education
This paper considers intra‐family financing of human capital under the assumptions that individuals are selfish and binding contracts are not feasible. Cooperation among family members is possible through a family norm (a family ‘social capital’) which prescribes the obligations to be met at each stage in life and sanctions for those who deviate. We characterize the set of self‐enforcing transfers and show that there is a downward bias in the fam…
Self-enforcing Intergenerational Transfers and the Provision of Education
Due to the presence of borrowing constraints in the market, the cost of educating the young members of a family is often borne by the adults. We consider intrafamily financing of human capital under the assumptions that individuals are selfish and binding contracts are not feasible. Cooperation among family members is possible through a family norm (a family social capital) which prescribes the obligations to be met at each stage in life and sanc…
Time, Self-Selection and User Charges for Public Goods
Many public goods generate utility only when combined with a time-input. Important examples include road networks and publicly provided leisure facilities. If it is possible to charge for the time spent using the public good it is generally a second-best Pareto optimal policy to do so even in the absence of congestion. An optimal linear user charge is analyzed within a standard optimum income-tax framework. Second-best public good provision in th…
Occupational risks, social insurance and investments in education
Social Insurance with Risk‐Reducing Investments
A two‐sector model with sector‐dependent disability risks is presented. Working in the low‐risk sector requires skills that can be obtained by investments in education. Moral hazard precludes full insurance. The labour force allocation is responsive to the incentives created by a social insurance system. The rationale for intervention lies in the government's power to cross‐subsidize between the sectors, and it is demonstrated how the responsiven…
