SUMMARY:Did We Botch the Notch? Investigating the Social Security Notch Literature and Use of the Health and Retirement Study
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 1\, Jeremy Moulton\, PhD\, will present Did We Botch the Notch? Investigating the Social Security Notch Literature and Use of the Health and Retirement Study as part of the Carolina Population Center 2018-2019 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.\nMoulton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Policy at UNC-Chapel Hill. His research investigates the intended and unintended consequences of public policy on labor supply\, consumption\, retirement\, self-employment\, real estate\, and the intergenerational transmission of wealth and education. \nMoulton is hosted by Carolina Population Center Fellow and Center Director Elizabeth Frankenberg. Frankenberg\, Professor of Sociology\, has served as the Director of Carolina Population Center since 2017. \nFriday\, Mar 1\n12-1\nCarolina Square Room 2002\n123 West Franklin Street\nLocation information is here. \nPRESENTATION ABSTRACT \nThe Social Security Amendments of 1972 and 1977\, often referred to as the “Social Security Notch\,” have been exploited as a natural experiment by researchers across numerous literatures to estimate causal relationships between income and an array of different outcomes. In this paper\, we investigate whether a demographic or sampling shift potentially confounds results from Notch papers that use the Health and Retirement Study (HRS)\, a popular data source for many of these studies. Specifically\, we find a large discontinuous shift in the proportion of non-white respondents in the HRS starting with the 1917 birth cohort (i.e.\, those adversely affected by the Social Security Amendments)\, which we conclude is due to sampling problems in the HRS. To determine whether this confounds key results in the literature\, we replicate three papers with different empirical approaches that used the HRS in their analysis of the Social Security Notch (Moulton\, 2017; Goda et al\, 2010; and Moran and Simon\, 2006) and test the extent to which the results hold after accounting for the sampling issue. Overall\, the results imply that the Social Security Notch literature and other work using the HRS data should carefully consider this issue.

SUMMARY:Labor Supply and a Temporary Reprieve from Deportation: Evidence from the DACA Program
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 22\, Joaquin Alfredo-Angel Rubalcaba\, PhD\, will present Labor Supply and a Temporary Reprieve from Deportation: Evidence from the DACA Program as part of the Carolina Population Center 2018-2019 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar series.\nRubalcaba is an assistant professor in the Department of Public Policy at UNC-Chapel Hill. His areas of interests broadly include health and labor economics. Specifically\, he has explored the health and labor market outcomes among underrepresented and disadvantaged communities\, while developing new empirical techniques to investigate the economic mechanisms and public policies driving these outcomes. \nRubalcaba is hosted by Carolina Population Center Fellow Sudhanshu (Ashu) Handa. Handa is the Lawrence I. Gilbert Distinguished Professor of Public Policy at UNC-Chapel Hill. \nFriday\, Mar 22\n12-1\nCarolina Square Room 2002\n123 West Franklin Street\nLocation information is here. \nPRESENTATION ABSTRACT \nApproximately 800\,000 unauthorized immigrants have participated in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program\, receiving deportation deferment and work eligibility. This paper investigates the impact of the DACA program on the labor supply of unauthorized immigrant youth\, with a focus on the gender disparities in the labor market. We leverage an imputed immigration status as a mechanism for identification in a triple-differences model. Our results reveal DACA increased labor force participation by 3 to 4 percentage points among immigrant youth\, which is primarily attributable to women with previous employment experience. The change in labor force participation among DACA eligible women is estimated to be approximately 3 percentage points greater than the estimated change in labor force participation among DACA eligible men\, or approximately 27\,000 women. The results presented throughout the analysis suggests DACA played a role in contracting the glaring gender disparity\, measured in terms of labor force participation\, among the unauthorized immigrant population. This study provides a unique insight into the relationship between immigration policy and labor supply behavior at the intersection of immigration status and gender.

SUMMARY:Biomarker Expert Panel
DESCRIPTION:This panel will focus on challenges and opportunities related to inclusion of biomarkers in large population surveys\, addressing: \n    What are the most informative\, cutting edge methods and markers for use in population research? (Whole blood by venipuncture\, dried blood spots\, urine\, feces\, other tissues for analysis of the microbiome\, metabolomics\, disease and nutrient markers\, and quantification of the exposome). \n    What informs decisions around inclusion of biomarkers in study protocols?\n        Feasibility: What is field-friendly?\n        Cost\n        Respondent burden\n        Establishing collaborations with lab science experts \n    Ethics:  what are responsibilities around return of results? \nThis panel includes principal investigators of large population based studies with experience in measurement of biomarkers. \nLinda Adair:  The Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey; ECHO\nKathleen Harris:  The National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent to Adult Health\nElizabeth Frankenberg:  The Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS)\, the Work and Iron Status Evaluation (WISE)\, the Study of the Tsunami Aftermath and Recovery (STAR) and the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS).\nKatie Meyer: Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study (CARDIA)
