- 요약Millions of households in the United States experience economic hardship at some point every year. Safety net programs, operated at the federal and state levels, aim to alleviate the hardship experienced by these households. While the existing literature provides strong evidence of the efficacy of different programs in reducing indirect indicators of hardship, there has been less focus on the impact of these programs on how the eligible individuals directly evaluate their hardship. This dissertation contributes to the literature by focusing on the impact of safety net programs on the hardship evaluated by eligible individuals and how these evaluations vary over time. It specifically examines two types of programs: public health insurance expansion and cash assistance provided through the tax system. The research utilizes data from the National Financial Capability Study and Household Pulse Survey and employs quasi-experimental methods to explore the relationship between program eligibility and hardship evaluations by the eligible.The findings suggest that, along with substantially increasing health insurance coverage and reducing unpaid medical bills, the 2014 Medicaid expansions were associated with a decrease in the difficulty eligible individuals perceived with usual expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the findings suggest that the availability of Earned Income Tax Credit at the state level was linked to a reduction in food insufficiency evaluated by the eligible during the pandemic. The findings also indicate that the single-item 7-day food insufficiency measure available in the Household Pulse Survey is a valid indicator of economic hardship and can be helpful in tracking how emerging issues and policy actions impact the hardship evaluated by people. Overall, the findings of this dissertation provide a more nuanced understanding of how safety net programs impact the economic hardship experienced by resource-constrained households in the United States.
