{"product_id":"2940148664857","title":"The Effects of Per Capita Tribal Payments on the Fertility, Education, and Labor Force Participation of Tribal Members","description":"The purpose of this research is to provide a preliminary examination of the effects of per\u003cbr\u003ecapita tribal payments on the decision making of tribal members. Standard microeconomic\u003cbr\u003etheory suggests that unearned income changes the labor-leisure tradeoff in utility\u003cbr\u003emaximization models. While the results of per capita payments on hours of work can be\u003cbr\u003eeasily anticipated, the effects of these payments on human capital accumulation and family\u003cbr\u003esize are more ambiguous. Using Census data from 1990 and 2000 we shed some light on the\u003cbr\u003eimpact of these per capita tribal payments on the lives of the recipients. We concentrate on\u003cbr\u003ethree tribes in the state of Michigan: the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe, the Keweenaw Bay Indian\u003cbr\u003eCommunity, and the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians of Michigan. The results lend\u003cbr\u003esupport to the basic labor theory conclusion that an increase in nonlabor income causes\u003cbr\u003eindividuals to decrease their work efforts. There is also weak evidence that the payment of\u003cbr\u003eper capita payments from casino profits is increasing the fertility rate of Saginaw Chippewa\u003cbr\u003etribal families.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108821745904,"sku":"2940148664857","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148664857_p0.jpg?v=1763706140","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148664857","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
