Title paper: "Health Insurance and High-Cost Borrowing: State Heterogeneity and the Effects of Medicaid on Pawn Loans, Payday Loans, and other Fringe Bank Products" Abstract: Linking Current Population Survey supplements from 2009-2019, we evaluate the effect of the Medicaid expansion on insurance coverage and financial security, measured by fringe bank use (e.g., payday lenders, check cashers, etc.). With synthetic control, we estimate aggregate and state-level effects. We show that Medicaid expansions increased coverage by 6 percentage points (21%) and reduced demand for fringe bank credit by 2 percentage points (20%). We document substantial state variation in the effects of Medicaid expansion. We use machine learning to correlate treatment effects to state-level characteristics. Treatment effects are associated with the state’s Medicaid policies and economic environment.
