Yale Study Examines Connecticut's Public Policy and Economic Impact
What happened
Yale economists, through the Tobin Center for Economic Policy, conducted a study on Connecticut's state policies. The research focused on helping Connecticut administrators improve the state’s Medicaid and SNAP food assistance programs, which serve over a million residents. The study also analyzed the potential benefits of a free, full-day pre-school program statewide.

Why it matters
The research suggests that a statewide free pre-school program could help families strengthen their finances and offer a high return on public investment. Additionally, the work provides tools and impartial information to policymakers and manufacturers to restore the flow of critical products and materials during supply chain disruptions.
