Abstract: The material well-being of veterans and their families is an important, policy-relevant topic. I research this topic through two crucial measures. In Chapters 1 and 2, I focus on wages, and in Chapter 3, I focus on poverty. In Chapter 1, I estimate the effect of veteran status on unconditional quantiles of wages for males across the period 1979-2017. I show there are important changes to the veteran wage differential over time across the entire wage distribution. In earlier periods, veterans enjoyed wage premiums across the entire wage distribution. Beginning in the early 1990s, wage premiums systematically declined across the wage distribution and largely became slight wage penalties across the wage distribution.
