<p>Assesses how welfare reform has affected behavior, evaluating the evidence in relation to an economic model of behavior, and reveals the trade-offs that policymakers face in achieving the conflicting goals of promoting work, reducing dependency, and alleviating need among the poor. The authors identify numerous areas where important gaps remain in our understanding of the effects of welfare reform.

<p>Examines the effects of the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program on work activity participation rates of welfare recipients, welfare caseloads, and outcomes for welfare leavers. While the CalWORKs reforms appear to have been responsible for some of the uniform improvement in outcomes shown by the analysis, the robust economy and other policy changes were probably also important.</p>

<p>The authors results suggest that for 1997, TANF is associated with (insignificant) increases in household income for whites and Hispanic children and (again insignificant) reductions in household income for black children. The point estimates for 1998 and 1999 bounds suggest that the impact may have been positive for all three groups.</p>
