Abstract

Using factor analysis, ordinary least squares estimation, and maximum-likelihood ordered probit estimation, we examine the relationship between the socioeconomic characteristics of neighborhoods and their supply of licansed childcare. We find that supply of licensed childcare in Massachusetts is strongly and significantly related to the number of children in the population: the larger the population of children, the more abundant the community's supply of child care services.
