| Participants in the Food Stamp Program consume more meats, added sugars, and total fats than they would in the absence of the program, while their consumption of fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy products stays about the same. Participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) consume significantly less added sugars, which may reflect the substitution of WIC-supplied juices and cereals in place of higher sugar soft drinks and cereals. These findings come from a study of low-income Americans using the Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals. |

| Since passage of the Personal Responsibility and Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), states have the responsibility of developing and implementing their own Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) programs to operate in tandem with the Federal Food Stamp Program (FSP). The context for this welfare reform included a booming economy and broad public perception that welfare programs severely reduce the work effort of recipients. This study focuses on a period when the economy was in recession and investigates how the old cash welfare program, AFDC, and the FSP affected labor supply (weekly hours of work) decisions for single mothers, the majority of welfare recipients, across the rural-urban continuum. The central question is how the labor supply of... |

| As the proportion of farm family income due to nonfarm sources continues to grow nationally, it is important to understand how farm families in various regions or states are affected. This paper develops a better understanding of the contribution of income from nonfarm sources to the level and distribution of income among farm families in New York. In analyzing income distribution, the Gini ratio is decomposed to determine the effects of marginal changes in income by source to overall inequality. The results are compared with the simulated changes in income inequality due to changes in income by source as measured by an "adjusted" Gini ratio which accounts specifically for negative farm incomes. Differences in the policy implications from both... |

| This paper simulates alternative distributions of general purpose state aid to local governments under different combinations of criteria: tax capacity, effort, and revenue needs. Revenue needs are based on Tobit estimates of the costs of providing average levels of 16 categories of services. Segmenting the sample into high and low population jurisdictions provided a more realistic set of cost estimates. Available revenues or capacity are determined by multiplying each jurisdiction's tax bases by standard tax rates. A Need-Capacity gap, the difference between needed revenues and available revenues, is used as a needs-based distribution strategy for general purpose aid. Finally an effort gap, based on above average tax efforts was added to the... |

| This article addresses the questions of who, among eligible low-income consumers, participates in the Food Stamp Program and which variables are influential in determining whether eligible persons will participate. Variables found to be statistically significant in the probit analysis were the number of adult equivalents in the household, the number of persons 65 or older in the household, whether the household head had more than a high school education, whether the household owned a home, whether the household resided in Ohio, whether the household head was employed, whether the household had only unearned income, whether the household did not have any income either earned or unearned, whether the household received public assistance, the monthly... |

| In this paper, we have recognized that the relatively constant inequality in the distribution of U.S. family income masks dramatic changes in the structure of the income distribution and the composition of personal incomes. Using relatively new procedures for decomposing the Gini measure of income inequality, we have gained a better understanding of the relationships among changes in the sources of income and the income distribution. This is facilitated through the use of data collected by the Census Bureau in the Survey of Income and Program Participation, which is the only set of data currently available that contains exhaustive lists of income and asset information at the household level. The empirical results are used in conjunction with data on... |

| In this paper we derive a joint continuous/censored demand system suitable for the analysis of commodity demand relationships using panel data. Unobserved heterogeneity is controlled for using a correlated random effects specification and a Generalized Method of Moments framework used to estimate the model in two stages. While relatively small differences in elasticity estimates are found between a flexible specification and one that restricts the relationship between the random effect and budget shares to be time invariant, larger differences are observed between the most flexible random effects model and a pooled cross sectional estimator. The results suggest the limited ability of such estimators to control for preference heterogeneity and unit value... |

| Over the past few years the S-216 Regional Project has devoted one day of the two-day annual meeting for a symposium. This year's symposium incorporated presentations by scholars from a number of fields: economics, agricultural economics, anthropology and social psychology. The latter two fields were represented by Mahadev L. Apte and David Brinberg who elucidated the perspectivesoftheirrespective disciplines and enhanced ourunderstanding ofhowthose disciplines conceptualize and empirically study food demand and consumption behavior. Prof. Apte's paper is included as the first in this proceedings volume. Because Prof. Brinberg's work on the role of and means for measuring the effect of attitudes on food consumption decisions (the basis for his... |

| The Southworth hypothesis predicts that inframarginal food stamp recipients should choose the same bundle of goods, whether they receive coupons or cash. Empirical research has contradicted this prediction. Here, we present a model that retains some attractive features of the Southworth hypothesis, while relaxing the key assumption that appears to be incorrect. In particular, we allow different forms of benefits to have distinct effects on desired, or unrestricted food spending. Two categories of previously commonly used empirical models are evaluated as special cases of our more general model. We estimate this model using data from two cash-out experiments. |
