Results from the Seattle and Denver Income Maintenance Experiments are used to predict nationwide labor-supply effects and costs of six alternative negative income tax programs. To make the predictions, a labor-supply model parameterizing the experimental treatments is estimated using...

This paper provides the first estimates of the net impact of CETA participation on the components of CETA participants' post-program earnings. Employing a sample of 1975 CETA enrollees and comparison groups drawn from the March 1978 CPS using a nearest-neighbor matching technique, the authors...

This article examines the sensitivity of CETA net impact estimates to alternative methodological procedures to reconcile the diverse findings from various CETA studies that are based on the same basic data sets. Our results indicate that estimated net impacts are quite sensitive to whether...

This study uses longitudinal data from the Seattle and Denver Income Maintenance Experiments to estimate a partial-adjustment model of labor-supply response. It is assumed that as a result of the experimental treatments, a person changes desired hours of work. The new desired hours of work are...

Examined in this paper are the effects of the financial and manpower treatments of the Seattle and Denver Income Maintenance Experiments on the wage rates of original heads of families (husbands, wives, and single female heads). The results indicate that there is little basis for concluding that...
