and I are excited to share our most recent working paper. We study how a plausibly exogenous increase in income, the 1994 expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), impacts intimate partner violence. 1/5

@David_E_Simon @the_resul_cesur @PlanasRodriguez After ruling out a decrease in time exposure to a partner (due to more time spent at work than at home) or increases in cash on hand with tax returns, we find suggestive evidence in support of EITC allowing for changes in living conditions during the summer. 5/5 #econtwitter
