Abstract

The temporary 2021 expansion of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) was intended to reduce child poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic. The expansion’s elimination of an existing phase-in with earnings, however, potentially disincentivized labor supply, raising concerns that it would reduce parent employment. We empirically test for employment effects using difference-in-differences analyses with Current Population Survey data. Across many specifications and multiple sub-groups, we find very small, inconsistently signed, statistically insignificant impacts of the 2021 CTC on parental labor force participation and employment.

扩大儿童税收抵免对就业结果的影响
2021 年临时扩大儿童税收抵免(CTC)的目的是在 COVID-19 大流行期间减少儿童贫困。然而,扩大后取消了现有的随收入分阶段递增的做法,可能会抑制劳动力供应,从而引起人们对它会减少父母就业的担忧。我们利用当前人口调查数据的差异分析对就业效应进行了实证检验。在多种规格和多个分组中,我们发现 2021 年 CTC 对父母劳动力参与和就业的影响非常小、符号不一致、统计上不显著。
