A note on the determinants of AFDC policies

Richard Cebula ()

Public Choice, 1981, vol. 37, issue 2, 327-330

Abstract: The above results may be interpreted, as follows: political pressure to raise welfare (AFDC) levels is greater in those states where the population actually receiving welfare (AFDC) is greater and where unemployment among adult non-welfare recipients (who may expect to become welfare-eligible) is greater. If higher welfare (AFDC) levels act to attract an influx of additional welfare-eligible voters, these additional voters may align with the voter pools described in Section 2 to raise AFDC levels even further. The end result could be a pattern of ever-growing geographical AFDC differentials. Copyright Martinus Nijhoff Publishers 1981
