Chetty, Hendren, Kline, Saez 2014: "absolute upward mobility" correct answers expected rank of
child born at 25th percentile

Mobility: slope vs intercept correct answers areas could have a greater intergenerational
relationship, but higher mobility on average (i.e. higher slop and higher intercept)

Mobility: "pivot point" correct answers comparing areas w/ different slopes, intercepts (i.e.
different avg outcomes at different points in distribution

correlation coefficient correct answers corr(X,Y)
bounded between -1 and 1; 0 = uncorrelated; 1 (or -1) = perfectly correlated; measures strength
of (linear) relationship between variables

Public Assistance correct answers i.e. means-tested programs
eligibility based on current needs. benefits generally phased out as income increases (otherwise
benefit given to everyone and not means tested); often categorical eligibility (e.g. requirements

Why the "Safety Net"?: equity/redistribution correct answers transfers to low income families to

safety net benefits; also subtracts necessary medical costs

California Poverty Measure correct answers like SPM but some CA specific tweaks and
variation

"optimal" safety net policy correct answers seeks to balance equity and efficiency concerns

Equity motivations for safety net correct answers we may value:
- redistribution (normative), - "minimum" level of economic well-being (e.g. want to increase
incomes of poor (normative))
-may have longer term causal positive effects, especially for children

Efficiency concerns for safety net correct answers losses due to distortionary effects of taxes
required to fund, disincentives to work (i.e. reduction in labor supply), if categorical elifibility

, requirements distort other choices (e.g. do welfare requirements lead to +single mothers),
distorted choices from in-kind vs cash transfers

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) correct answers "food stamps": resourcces

Most effective at reducing poverty correct answers social security

most effective at reducing poverty among means-tested programs correct answers EITC (+ other
refundable tax credits) --> SNAP/SSI also lifts many out of poverty --> TANF less effective

why is TANF less effective? correct answers - benefit levels low, phase-out occurs before
poverty line
- may have larger impacts on "extreme" or "deep" poverty

Framework for Transfer Programs correct answers - families receive transfer based on household
characteristics + income (Y)
- Guarantee (G): amount to family w/ zero income
- Maximum benefit (M)
- Phase out of benefit (P): highest earnings possible to receive M
- Subsidy rate (S): rate transfer grows as earnings rise > 0
