Up to 47 million Americans face more food insecurity because of proposed restrictions on SNAP food assistance program
No full textLast November the increase in benefits to the SNAP program of food assistance, put in place in 2009 as part of the American Recovery Act, expired. Craig Gundersen gives an overview of SNAP, writing that in 2012 it provided benefits to more than 47 million people. He argues that recent proposals that would fundamentally change and reduce SNAP assistance will reduce food security and well-being by increasing the program’s stigma and transaction costs, meaning that fewer households will enter the program. This is in contrast to recent reductions in SNAP benefits which will have more limited impacts

Food insecurity exists in every county across the U.S., making food assistance critical for millions in need
No full textWhile food insecurity in America is by no means a new problem, it has been made worse by the Great Recession. Now, about 49 million people in the U.S. are living in food insecure households, and nearly 47 million receive assistance from national food banks. Looking at the results of Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap study, Elaine Waxman, Amy Satoh & Craig Gundersen write that unemployment is a major driver of the food insecurity which exists in every county in the U.S. They argue that food insecurity can be addressed through improving people’s participation in federal food assistance programs, especially among children
The Economics of Food Insecurity in the United States
No full textFood insecurity is experienced by millions of Americans, and its prevalence has increased dramatically in recent years. Due to its prevalence and many demonstrated negative health consequences, food insecurity is one of the most important nutrition-related public health issues in the U.S. In this article, we cover how economic insights and models have improved our understanding of the determinants of food insecurity, the effects of food insecurity on health outcomes, and the impact of food assistance programs on food insecurity. We conclude with a discussion of several issues where economists can provide further insights.This is a manuscript of an article published as Gundersen, Craig, Brent Kreider, and John Pepper.

Previous issue date: 2016-11-30Most food insecurity research within the United States has focused on the headcount ratio of food insecurity, whic is,the percentage of households that are considered food insecure. Although this measure is important, using this measurealone, ignores the variation within the food hardship being experienced by U.S. households. In 2008, Dr. CraigGundersen translated the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke income poverty index to measure the extent, depth, and severity offood insecurity. Within chapter 1 of this paper, I use the income poverty index literature to define axioms that anappropriate food insecurity index would need to satisfy in order to accurately measure the depth of food insecurity. Itranslate income poverty indices from Kakwani, Chakravarty, and Watts and then evaluate how these indices as wellas the one proposed by Dr. Gundersen measure food insecurity within the U.S.. Within chapter 2, I use the foodinsecurity index proposed by Dr. Gundersen to evaluate how Broad Based Categorical Eligibility, a change in SNAPeligibility policy affected U.S. food insecurity between 2001 and 2013.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

Bounding the effects of food insecurity on children’s health outcomes
No full textPrevious research has estimated that food insecure children are more likely to suffer from a wide array of negative health outcomes than food secure children, leading many to claim that alleviating food insecurity would lead to better health outcomes. Identifying the causal impacts is problematic, however, given endogenous selection into food security status and potential mismeasurement of true food security status. Using recently developed nonparametric bounding methods and data from the 2001-2006 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES), we assess what can be identified about the effects of food insecurity on child health outcomes in the presence of nonrandom selection and nonclassical measurement error. Under relatively weak monotonicity assumptions, we can identify that food security has a statistically significant positive impact on good general health and being a healthy weight. Our work suggests that previous research has more likely underestimated than overestimated the causal impacts of food insecurity on health.This is a manuscript of an article published as Gundersen, Craig, and Brent Kreider.

The cultivation of (difficult) surfaces or “I know that’s a tree”
No full textTo coincide with the exhibition Real Painting at the Castlefield Gallery in Manchester Craig Staff, author of After Modernist Painting: The History of a Contemporary Practice (2013), offered his response to the exhibition, considering it in relation to painting’s histories, theories and philosophies. From connections with the Renaissance and modernism, he will venture towards the means by which we might begin to think about, if not understand the works that make up Real Painting
