  • household Economic Instability constructs measurement and implications
    Children and Youth Services Review, 2020
    Co-Authors: Taryn W Morrissey, Yun Cha, Sharon Wolf, Mariam S Khan
    Abstract:

    Abstract A growing body of research demonstrates the multiple dimensions and dynamism of family income and employment. The metrics of household Economic Instability and their associations with household characteristics and hardship require further examination in order to compare across studies, subgroups, and historical periods. This paper empirically examines and compares commonly used measures of income and employment Instability, how these measures inter-relate, vary by household characteristics, and how they predict household hardship. Using longitudinal data from the 2008 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), and focusing on households with children, this study examined a range of descriptive measures of Economic Instability, including in income, earnings, public assistance benefits, and employment status, and how these measures related to each other. Results indicate that overall rates of income and employment Instability were high, particularly among less-educated families, those with young children, and those who did not own a home. Economic Instability, particularly decreases in employment, was associated with increased household hardship three months later. Findings also show that the source of income included in the Instability measure affects the patterns identified and conclusions drawn, whereas the specific type of measure used matters less. Results highlight the Instability of public assistance benefits and suggest that safety net programs must take Economic Instability into account when designing programs and benefits.

  • Economic Instability food insecurity and child health in the wake of the great recession
    Social Service Review, 2017
    Co-Authors: Sharon Wolf, Taryn W Morrissey
    Abstract:

    AbstractAlthough there is a wealth of research on the relationship between income level and employment status and child well-being, the relationship between Economic Instability and health during early childhood is understudied. We examine the associations between the incidence, accumulation, and timing of intrayear employment and income Instability with household and child food insecurity and child health using a nationally representative sample of households. The sample includes children age 3–5 from households in the 2008 Survey of Income and Program Participation (N=5,056). We find that young children’s households experience high levels of both income and employment Instability. Both the incidence and the accumulation of Instability predict poorer child outcomes, more recent Instability is more strongly associated with child outcomes, and these relations are stronger for children with less educated parents. Employment and income changes have separate, unique associations with each outcome and operate ...

Employment and income changes have separate, unique associations with each outcome and operate in somewhat different ways.

  • macro Economic Instability and business exit determinants of failures and acquisitions of large uk firms
    Research Papers in Economics, 2002
    Co-Authors: Arnab Bhattacharjee, Chris Higson, Sean Holly, Paul Kattuman
    Abstract:

    Using data over a 34-year span on UK quoted firms, this paper seeks to identify the factors that increase the likelihood of exit of firms. Firms may disappear through the mutually precluding events of bankruptcies and acquisitions. We use a competing-risks hazard model to determine characteristics leading to each outcome. Hazard models make use of the data on timing of these alternative outcomes and we exploit this to focus attention on how the hazards change over the business cycles, conditional on the post-listing age of the firm. We find that the volatility in macro environment has a role in determining, in different ways, the hazard of firms going bankrupt or being acquired.
