Food insecurity rates have risen significantly in the United States beginning with the recent recession and remained high. The implications of these high rates are severe in that food insecurity has been associated with a wide range of health, behavioral, social and cognitive difficulties. This paper examines the relationship between the School Breakfast Program (SBP) and food insecurity outcomes. The SBP has the potential to reduce food insecurity because of the direct provision of breakfast to students and the implied income transfer to households. We use state-level cutoffs tied to school-level poverty rates that mandate the provision of the SBP to compare the food security outcomes of students in similar schools, but with different requirements to provide breakfast. Our estimates suggest that state policies requiring schools to offer the SBP have reduced food insecurity for young children.
自最近的经济衰退开始以来，美国的粮食不安全率显著上升且居高不下。这些高比率的影响很严重，因为粮食不安全与广泛的健康、行为、社会和认知困难有关。本文研究了学校早餐计划（SBP）与粮食不安全结果之间的关系。由于直接为学生提供早餐以及隐含的家庭收入转移，SBP有降低粮食不安全的潜力。我们使用与学校贫困率相关的州级临界值来强制实施SBP，以比较类似学校中但提供早餐要求不同的学生的粮食安全结果。我们的估计表明，要求学校提供SBP的州政策降低了幼儿的粮食不安全状况。
