abstract: 'This article evaluates the effects of maternal vs. alternative care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
providers'' time inputs on children''s cognitive development using the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sample of single mothers in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To deal with the selection problem created by unobserved heterogeneity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of mothers and children, we develop a model of mother''s employment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childcare decisions. We then obtain approximate decision rules for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and childcare use, and estimate these jointly with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
child''s cognitive ability production function. To help identify our
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
selection model, we take advantage of the plausibly exogenous variation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in employment and childcare choices of single mothers generated by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variation in welfare rules across states and over time created by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1996 welfare reform legislation and earlier State waivers. (C) 2009
