中文摘要
我们构建了一个全国层面的纵向数据集，以分析儿童参与公共住房及住房券援助住房如何影响其26岁时的收入和成年后的监禁。朴素的OLS估计表明，参与补贴住房的回报为负，但这一关系是由家庭对援助住房的选择性偏误驱动的。家庭固定效应估计表明，额外一年的公共住房使女性收入增加6.2%，男性增加6.1%；而住房券援助住房使女性收入增加4.8%，男性增加2.7%。对于所有家庭种族/族裔群体，童年参与援助住房也降低了成年后监禁的可能性。（JEL I38, J13, J31, K42, R38）
Abstract
We create a national-level longitudinal dataset to analyze how children’s participation in public and voucher-assisted housing affects age-26 earnings and adult incarceration. Naïve OLS estimates suggest that returns to subsidized housing participation are negative, but that relationship is driven by household selection into assisted housing. Household fixed effects estimates indicate that additional years of public housing increase earnings by 6.2 percent for females and 6.1 percent for males, while voucher-assisted housing increases earnings by 4.8 percent for females and 2.7 percent for males. Childhood participation in assisted housing also reduces the likelihood of adult incarceration for all household race/ethnicity groups. (JEL I38, J13, J31, K42, R38)
