“…In a third recent paper closely related to ours, Liu and Zhao (2014) find a negative association between child health and fathers' and mothers' recent job loss (the event of losing one's job) during the period 1991-2006 in China, although the effect of maternal job loss is statistically insignificant. An important conceptual difference with the present paper is that Liu and Zhao (2014) estimate the effect of recent job loss, rather than unemployment (or joblessness). 3 We see no reason to believe that parents' time use and income are affected only by job loss, rather than joblessness and in this paper we focus on joblessness.…”

“…Second, the sample size provides a large improvement in statistical 11 I define posttax family income as AGI including Unemployment Insurance (UI) and the taxable portion of Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) and other taxable benefits, plus nontaxable Social Security benefits including the nontaxable portion of DI, minus federal income and payroll taxes due, inclusive of all tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the Child Tax Credit (CTC), and other deductions and exemptions, but not including tax payments that merely reflect taxes paid earlier in the year prior to filing of the 1040. 12 Liu and Zhao (2011) and Rege, Telle, and Votruba (2011) find that layoffs of fathers harm children's health and academic outcomes, respectively, more than layoffs of mothers. Liu and Zhao (2011) provide evidence that this result stems from the smaller effects of maternal job loss on family income and on the greater propensity of mothers to allocate marginal time to helping children.…”

“…Other papers have looked at child health effects of job displacements in other countries. Liu and Zhao (2014) look at job displacement in the context of mass layoffs from publicly owned firms in China following the reforms initiated in the 1990s. They find that the father's job loss has a large negative impact on height and weight of children, whereas they don't find evidence of an effect of mother's job loss.…”
