The duration of Medicaid spells: an analysis using flow and stock samples

Article Abstract:

The duration of Medicaid spells across various eligibility categories was investigated using unique administrative data. A one-in-ten sample of all Medicaid recipients in Kentucky as of Jul 1, 1986, as well as new entrants to the Medicaid program between Jul 1, 1986, and Jun 30, 1987, were analyzed. Empirical evidence showed significant variations in hazard functions across Medicaid eligibility categories, indicating that the cost of expanding the program or the savings from contracting it would differ depending on the eligibility group affected by the change in program policy.

Employment spells and unemployment insurance eligibility requirements

Article Abstract:

The Canadian unemployment insurance (UI) system for the year 1990 was analyzed to study the effect of UI eligibility requirements on employment spell duration. Canada's extension of employment weeks needed to achieve UI eligibility has resulted in a corresponding increase in the employment hazard in the week an employee fulfills the eligibility requirement. Actions taken by employers and employees are shown to be affected by UI system parameters.

Child care subsidies, quality of care, and the labor supply of low-income, single mothers

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze the impact of child care subsidies on the decision of low-income single mothers to work and on the quality of services their children will receive. The study is based on two subsidy programs for Kentucky families. Results show that mothers who receive child care subsidies are more inclined to work and express more satisfaction for the services their children receive.
