DESCRIPTION:Robert Kaestner\, University of Chicago\, will present "Effects
  of Income on Infant Health:  Evidence from the Expanded Child Tax Credit 
 and Pandemic Stimulus Checks" as part of the CPR Seminar Series.Abstract:D
 uring the COVID-19 pandemic\, the federal government issued stimulus check
 s and expanded the child tax credit. These payments varied by marital stat
 us and the number of children in the household. We exploit this plausibly 
 exogenous variation in income during pregnancy to obtain estimates of the 
 effect income on infant health. Data are from birth certificates and the s
 ample focuses on mothers with high school or less education. Estimates ind
 icate that these pandemic cash payments had no statistically significant\,
  or clinically or economically meaningful effects on infant health (birth 
 weight\, gestational age\, and fetal growth outcomes).
