Abstract
⺠We explore the heterogenous relationship between Food Stamp Program (FSP) participation and body mass index (BMI) for low-income individuals. ⺠A longitudinal individual fixed effects quantile regression model is used. ⺠The mean OLS estimate of FSP participation underestimates the extent of the positive association with BMI at the top quantiles for women. ⺠Individual fixed effects quantile estimates are statistically significant but much smaller than cross sectional estimates for women.
