Abstract: This study aims at examining the relationship between macroeconomic and policy variables and food stamp program participation in West Virginia. Static and dynamic econometric models are employed. Results indicate that macroeconomic conditions significantly explain food stamp program participation. Results could be helpful to welfare programs in West Virginia.
