To test the homogeneity of the survival functions across the spells, I conduct the generalized Wilcoxon test (=-=Kalbfleisch and Prentice 1980-=-, chapter 6). For the AFDC spells, the test suggests an overall significantly different pattern in terms of survival curves across spells (p-value = 0.0027). But the hypothesis of homogeneity in the s... |

This shortage can be attributed to the lack of adequate data on multiple spells of welfare recipiency as well as on the econometric difficulty of taking into account dependency across spells for th... |

Studies find that between 20 to 40 percent of former AFDC recipients return to the rolls after having left for a time (Ellwood 1986; =-=Blank and Ruggles 1994-=-). Ignoring reentry to the welfare rolls, or welfare recidivism, leaves an incomplete picture of welfare dynamics and likely understates long-term dependency. This study, which investigates welfare re... |

Ellwood, using a method similar to that developed in his earlier research with Bane (=-=Bane and Ellwood 1983-=-), relies on sample tabulations to calculate AFDC exit and recidivism rates and multinominal logit models to analyze determinants. A key assumption made is that initial AFDC spells, subsequent AFDC sp... |
