Many low-income households experience high frequency labor market transitions. It is unclear how the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) work incentives affect these frequent entry and exit decisions. Exploiting the panel nature of the Current Population Survey, I show that EITC expansions induce less-educated single women with previous work experience to work more months, leading to more annual weeks worked and less annual exit, suggesting the EITC operates in part by keeping previously employed single women in the labor force. Employment responds to changes in the previous year’s EITC, consistent with people learning about how the returns to work have changed, and then responding.

EITC和就业过渡：劳动力依恋和年度退出

许多低收入家庭经历了高频劳动力市场的转变。尚不清楚收入所得税抵免（EITC）的工作激励措施如何影响这些频繁出入的决定。利用当前人口调查的面板性质，我发现EITC的扩张会导致受过教育的单身女性受过较少的工作经验而工作了几个月，导致更多的年度工作周数和更少的年出口，这表明EITC在一定程度上保持了以前在劳动力中雇用单身女性。就业对上一年的EITC的变化做出了反应，这与人们了解工作回报如何变化然后做出反应的情况是一致的。
