@CaseyDanson @catholic_memes @SC30fanpage @elonmusk @JINewsNet 🔥Good news for everyone🔥
@CaseyDanson @Catholic_Memes @SC30fanpage @elonmusk 🤜🤛Amazing thanks..
Yes, getting a big refund means you overpaid your taxes. But in a low-inflation environment that amounts to a pretty good savings mechanism for millions of Americans bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
It's not just about tomorrow, but week-to-week and month-to-month ups and downs. See Chapter 7 of The Financial Diaries. amzn.to/2kbpIEU
Luckily, there is just such a concept: It’s called material security. Someone who has food and a roof over their head today, but doesn’t know whether they will tomorrow, should be considered poor bloom.bg/2RdfYpR
Most poor households are only sometimes poor. Steady jobs don't mean steady income. Policies often don't fit needs. Despite the evidence, it's remarkably hard to shift the narrative about poverty.
Interesting new @AEI report on poverty & joblessness by @AngelaRachidi buries the lede. It's certainly true that the persistently poor have low employment, but most of the poor are *intermittently* poor & have no joblessness. aei.org/publication/th…
How often do workers have 20 hours/week one month, and less than that another month (and thus would lose SNAP?) Our CPS analysis finds nearly 1 in 5 adults (!!!) have this work pattern over a 16 month period.
Important research characterizing and highlighting labor market conditions (yes, they work) safety net recipients face...including low, volatile wages. x.com/dwschanz/statu…
My new paper: An understanding of the labor market that SNAP and Medicaid beneficiaries face makes clear that it will be difficult for many individuals and families to meet proposed work requirements. cbpp.org/research/pover… The issue: should we increase work requirements?
Perhaps better framed as: Friends and family are central to financial lives of 90%+ of the world, goal shouldn't be to change that but to make relationships work better for all. See issue brief from US Financial Diaries: bit.ly/1T9B05A x.com/MicroSave/stat…
‘Why do friends and family remain central to Kenyans’ financial choices?’ #LowIncomeLives #FinancialInclusion bit.ly/2L0rgPl
Policy should reflect actual financial lives and needs of Americans, especially low- and moderate-income families, not hypothetical models. An important step here. x.com/dcjretiresecur…
New Senate legislation on rainy day ("sidecar") savings. AARP first wrote about this in 2015 and continues to research the topic. Our new study on what workers want should be available in late September: blog.aarp.org/2015/07/13/mak…
thread about this new research note on how the legislated delay in the Earned Income Tax Credit has affected consumer spending ... x.com/feds_notes/sta…
“High-frequency Spending Responses to the Earned Income Tax Credit” by Aladangady, Aron-Dine, Cashin, Dunn, Feiveson, Lengermann, Richard, and Sahm federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/…
About 40% of respondents chose a (hypothetical) steady-paying job over a (hypothetical) job with varying pay -- even when the variable-pay job paid a whole lot more. Wow. From the new (5/22/18) Federal Reserve SHED survey
Here's my take on two important and accessible books about life on the margins of the US financial system @LisaServon and @JMorduch & @RachelSchneider: "Innovating and improvising the social contract in the US financial borderscape" tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… … @JCultEcon
"The challenge philanthropy faces in fighting poverty is not beyond our ability to overcome, but it is beyond single organizations to do it alone,” says @BrandeeMcHale, president of the @Citi Foundation. bit.ly/2uGnP8E
Income volatility: The RCT! Turns out that those scheduling policies that complicate workers' lives and shift risk onto their shoulders don't lead to higher profit. Evidence from the Gap. nyti.ms/2GemS8P
Great piece by @aliezadurana @NewAmerica on income volatility with #JPMCInstitute and @USFDstudy data slate.com/human-interest…
Debt and morality. Why aren't poorly-treated debtors rising up? Great conversation with historical context: @ProfessorWherry talks with @timothyogden at @AspenFSP youtu.be/HyL03Kr_Lkg?t=…
#Scarcity by @m_sendhil and #TheFinancialDiaries by @JMorduch and @RachelSchneider -- book suggestions by @ChrisHughes, author of #fairshot #WhatsNowNY
According to #JPMCInstitute research, cash flow has major influence on when consumers receive healthcare, not just when they pay for it. How did the experts respond? Read our summary from the #JPMHC18 conference to learn more: bit.ly/2DvttK8
