摘要：The 20th anniversary of the IRP Summer Research Workshop
offers a time to reflect on the evolution of policy relating
to tax and transfer programs in the United States (and
antipoverty policy more generally), the evolution of social
science research, and the relationship between them. While
there have been a number of papers that have characterized
the evolution of antipoverty policy over the last several decades,
there have been fewer efforts to study the evolution of
antipoverty scholarship over a similar period.1
