My best recommendation is the children of the NLSY79 mothers. You can get detailed histories of family income through the mother, and there's lots of info on the children as well.

Why is this important? We contribute to a body of evidence showing that the benefits to public health insurance go beyond health outcomes. This work adds to our understanding of how public health insurance can shape developmental trajectories

How do we do it? Our paper uses a version of the simulated instrument pioneered by Currie and Gruber. We leverage variation in cumulative eligibility from expansions to Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program between the 1980s and 2000s. Data come from the NLSY79-CYA

Where do we come in? We link those two strands of literature by providing evidence on what's happening in the intervening years. Our results suggest that labor market gains come from improved cognitive development, for example

Why is this important? There's a large literature on the effect of eligibility on early-life health and later-life education and labor market outcomes. See great work by @chloeneast.bsky.social @smiller.bsky.social @cohodes.bsky.social among many others

We study the effect of cumulative eligibility for public health insurance on children's cognitive and behavioral outcomes. One additional year of eligibility improves test scores measured at age 13-14 by 0.07-0.11 SD. There's also some evidence of a reduction in problem behaviors
