Metropolitan area (MSA) correct answers group counties into socioeconomically linked
surroundings; contain city w/ 50k+ inhabitants or urban area with 100k+ population
Commuting Zone ("CZ") correct answers group of counties based on commuting flows (i.e.
economically integrated); covers entire USA
Counties correct answers vary in size (often many counties in "metro area"); administratively

*note: comparing "rank-rank" relationship across places may obscure differences in the level of
upward mobility
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
high mobility areas have... correct answers less residential segregation
less income inequality
"better" schools (test scores in grades 3-8)
greater social capital

high mobility areas have lower correlations with... correct answers average income
local labor market conditions

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
beyond income/assets)
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
for food purchases, all potentially eligible but varies by some characteristics; usually capped @ 3

phases in/out w earnings
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
