SSI provides cash payments to over a million families who have children w disabilities. Do these substantial payments—which make up ~half of total income for recipients—improve kids’ outcomes? We use a cutoff in SSI eligibility for infants based on birthweight to investigate.

We demand the most of families when they have the least. When kids are young, care is most resource intensive to produce, families have the least earning power, & the public invests the least in kids & families. The crises in housing & child care both go back to this central fact.

In many of my papers, the key result is shown via a table, but I make a simple bar graph to use in talks, at least to broader audiences. I wish we all made and posted these; I'm much more likely to show someone's result in a keynote or for teaching if there is a good figure.

I was looking for a good example of Simpson's paradox for teaching and stumbled across this excellent one. Colored lines scientifically hand-drawn by me. Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...

Hello #econsky! I am an associate professor at UNC Greensboro studying (mostly) health economics. My recent work has been around using human mobility data to study reproductive health and public health policy. But be on the lookout for more work around higher education policy!
