Governmental Quality and Welfare
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the last decade, caseloads in AFDC/TANF have shifted dramatically up, then down. Existing studies fail to explain the changes well. Also, they do not reveal the policies behind the changes, nor the important role of governmental quality in shaping welfare reform. In this study, I use cross-sectional models based on states, measure welfare reform policies directly using program data, and relate these policies to background features of states’ politics and government. Results show that grant levels, work and child support requirements, and sanctions are important explainers of caseload change, together with some demographic factors and unemployment. These policies in turn are tied to states’ political opinion, political culture, and institutional capacity. Moralistic states seem the most capable of transforming welfare as the public wants.
