Event study estimates

Notes: Each cell reports a quarterly event study estimate, following Equation 1 from Appendix B. Robust standard errors clustered at the household level (i.e., CalFresh case in 2023Q1) appear in parentheses. The 2022Q4 effect is the reference point and thus the estimate omitted.The sample includes individuals who were enrolled in CalFresh in 2023Q1 as well as at least one quarter in 2022; were 25-54 years old in 2023Q1; had a valid credit score in at least half of the quarters shown; had a valid credit score in at least half of the quarters shown; could be classified in terms of the size of their EAs in 2022; and could be assigned an appropriate statistical weight (N=669,618).
