Economics Research Seminarhttps://weatherhead.case.edu/events/2018/12/07/economics-research-seminarThis project examines how the timing of nutritional assistance payments affects instances of domestic violence, using a policy change in Illinois that altered SNAP benefit issuance timing to evaluate two arguments: (i) parents or partners use violence as a way to express frustration near the end of the month when resources are lean, and/or (ii) parents or partners use violence as a way to control the allocation of household resources shortly after an influx of benefits. Using crime-level data, we find that distributing SNAP benefits later in the month increases domestic abuse by 6.7% and child maltreatment by 32.5%.
Please join the Economics Department for a research seminar. This event is open to all Case Western Reserve University faculty, Ph.D. students, economic majors and minors, and those interested in economics research.
