Abstract
This report contributes not only to the
existing literature, but also provides suggestions for
future policy-design related to the TSA program in Georgia.
This study shows that Georgia’s TSA program does generate
disincentives to search for jobs or work around the
threshold of eligibility, with this effect being
concentrated among women. This report is structured as
follows: Section two discusses the existing literature and
provides a more detailed overview of the TSA program.
Section three describes the sampling frame, the sampling
method and the data used. Section four explains the
empirical approach of the study. Section five elaborates on
the main results. Section six concludes with a discussion on
policy implications.
