Abstract
This dissertation considers three topics in public and labor economics. Chapter I introduces the work. In Chapter II, I consider the gender wage gap in the United States by evaluating the differences in work timing and elasticity between men and women. Chapter III evaluates the interaction between Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit disbursement and drug-related fatalities. Chapter IV provides a general empirical test of tax invariance (TIV). In Chapter V, I conclude the work.
