We’ll be adding dozens of proposals from other policy areas—such as Medicaid, workforce development, and child welfare—over the coming weeks. One new feature of the site is the “Spotlight on Work Incentives” page. There we’ve highlighted three previously published pieces each by Kevin Corinth, Robert Doar, Angela Rachidi, Matt Weidinger, and me on the importance of work incentives in evaluating safety net policies, as well as a few multi-authored pieces. Beyond these highlights, on the webpage you can find many more briefs, op-eds, essays, and reports we’ve written on the importance of work. These pieces cover my evolution from a center-left sociology grad student who believed that the 1996 welfare reform would harm families to a center-right AEI scholar who believes work incentives are important enough to dedicate a Substack post to them.
