The data bases used are the Continuous Longitudinal Manpower Survey and a matched comparison group derived from the Current Population Survey. After linking net impact to the human capital model, we estimate fixed effects regressions for numerous subgroups. The estimated equations were used to decompose earnings differentials to provide net impact estimates and to evaluate the quality of the matching procedure. Results are compared with related studies. We also examine broader issues comparing the potential for quasi-experimental versus experimental design in national evaluations of employment and training programs.

Using an explicit multivariate citations function, the authors produce a single ranking that controls simultaneously for several nonquality related factors that influence citation. As an example of this methodology, they produce a ranking of economics journals that controls for the effects of differences in field size of journals on citations. The authors demonstrate that previous rankings have been biased in favor of journals from larger fields.

SNAP and UI are two strands of the Nation’s recessionary safety net —the subset of safety-net programs for which participation is responsive to the business cycle. Using data from the Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) Supplement to the Current Population Survey, the study found that an estimated 14.4 percent of SNAP households also received UI at some time in 2009 (a recessionary year), an increase of 6.6 percentage points from 2005 (a full-employment year). Conversely, an estimated 13.4 percent of UI households also received SNAP in 2009, an increase of 2.3 percentage points from 2005. SNAP households with lower an...

Although the methods could be applied to different populations, this article illustrates a community needs assessment targeting older adults. The assessment methodology included public data; local healthcare facility data; telephone survey of older adults; targeted focus groups of older adults; and surveys of caregivers, service and healthcare providers, religious organizations, and key informants. Dissemination strategies included community forums and conferences, a Web site, and publications. Collaborative projects implemented to address areas identified for improvement are also described.
