The Effect of Paying Parents to Adopt: Evidence from Minnesota's Foster-Care System
Aimed at increasing the adoption rate of older children, Minnesota's 2015 Northstar Care Program eliminated the adoption penalty (the decrease in fostering-based financial transfers associated with adoption) for children aged six and older, while maintaining it for children under age six. Using a difference-in-differences estimation strategy that controls for a rich set of covariates, we find that parents responded positively to this change in direct financial payments; the annual adoption rate of older foster children aged six to eleven increased by approximately 7 percentage points (22% at the mean) as a result of the program. We additionally find evidence of strategic adoption behavior as the adoption rate of younger children temporarily increased by 11 percentage points (26% at the mean) in the year prior to the program's implementation.

SPEAKING VOLUMES
I cannot remember what made me opt to study the 18th century as my \"special period\" of art history at the Courtauld Institute. It could have been pure perversity. In those days, the late 1950s, Poussin was de rigueur, but the 18th century, pre-Paulson and pre-Barrell, lacked enthusiasts and was little taught at the Courtauld.
