Economic Inequality And Family Formation In The United States, Elizabeth S. Krause Jan 2026

Economic Inequality And Family Formation In The United States, Elizabeth S. Krause

Theses and Dissertations--Economics

This dissertation evaluates economic inequality and family formation in the United States in three essays. In Essay 1, I estimate the effect of providing subsidized access to immediate postpartum contraceptives on birth spacing and infant health among low-income teen mothers. The intent-to-treat estimates indicate a 20% reduction in the monthly short-interval birth rate among teens 12-14 months after policy enactment.

Guilty Till Proven Innocent: Pennsylvania’S Battle With Eyewitness Misidentification And Wrongful Convictions, Chante Whyte

Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)

In his dissent in Watkins v. Sowders, Justice William J. Brennan of the United States Supreme Court found, “[T]here is almost nothing more convincing than a live human being who takes the stand, points a finger at the defendant, and says ‘That’s the one!’” Eyewitness identifications play a crucial role in the investigation and prosecution of crimes. However, the reliance on eyewitness testimony has also given rise to a significant issue within the criminal justice system: eyewitness misidentification. This phenomenon is now recognized as the leading cause of wrongful convictions in the United States. Over the years, extensive scientific and …

After reviewing and correcting the transcript against the audio, students format it with participants’ initials to focus on content rather than timestamps. A simplified transcription guideline is applied to mark key elements. Finally, students reflect on the transcription process, addressing what was most difficult to represent …
