Intervention: The Child and Dependent Care Credit, a tax credit based on income and child care expenses, which was expanded in 2003.
Who it was tested with: Single and married mothers with children younger than 13 in the US, from the March Current Population Survey..
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"generating differential increases in generosity across states and family sizes" - the study compares groups exposed to different levels of the policy change, which fits a quasi-experimental design with comparison groups.
Only the abstract is available, so the identification strategy, controls and robustness checks cannot be assessed. No child outcomes are measured, and the abstract reports no labor supply result for single mothers.
