This dissertation consists of two chapters. In the first chapter, I analyze the effects of child care subsidy versus income transfer programs on child cognitive and non-cognitive skill development. This is an important study because of large variation across countries in the allocation of public funds for support of families between child care subsidies and cash transfer programs. I specify and structurally estimate a model of household decisions about labor supply and child care, jointly with cognitive and non-cognitive skill production functions, using data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. Counterfactual simulations show that child care subsidies have a positive effect on cognitive skill, and a negative effect on non-cognitive skill. The simulations show that income transfers improve both types of skills, but the effects per dollar of government expenditure are smaller than the effects of child care subsidies. The results also suggest that child care subsidies are more effective in improving children's skills when they are used for low income families, and that imposing a maternal work requirement is important for income transfers to be effective for improving child skill development.In the second chapter, I study the effect of non-maternal childcare time on children's cognitive achievement, using data from the Child Development Supplement of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Using a specification that carefully distinguishes non-maternal child care and maternal work, I find sizable negative effects of non-maternal childcare, resulting mainly from use of informal childcare when children are very young. However, the negative effect of non-maternal childcare can be at least partially offset by the positive effect of maternal work and the positive effect of income from maternal work. The results also show that children in low income families have a negative impact of maternal work, and the adverse effects of non-maternal childcare and maternal work cannot be offset by the positive impact of income from maternal work. Finally, I show that controlling for maternal work results in a 43% increase in the negative effect of non-maternal child care.
