Moreover, we find that the relationship between time since SNAP issuance and crime is nonlinear... Some have argued against periodic payments by noting how the lump-sum nature of tax credits may be useful as a forced savings mechanism. The evidence for this view comes from expenditure surveys which show as many as 84 percent of EITC recipients use some portion of their refund to pay down debts. However, other research reveals that credit card usage by EITC recipients increases in anticipation of the refund, indicating that debt-paying behavior is largely a byproduct of credit-based consumption smoothing. Periodic payments would allow households to smooth consumption without incurring interest costs, thus relaxing credit constraints more efficiently. --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:886588197] in Staggering...
