PSID data extracts for: The effect of child support on fathers’ labor supply

<div>The paper studies the effect of having to pay child support on work incentives in five datasets including the PSID. For identification, I exploit the end of child support when the children involved reach emancipation age. Empirically, child support paid drops to near zero on emancipation (as expected); fathers correspondingly increase their work hours and annual earnings. </div><div><br></div><div>The PSID constitutes one of several datasets used in the paper. PSID data extracts are in this repository (to satisfy contractual obligations); other datasets and analysis codes are on the journal replication kit repository. <br></div>
