AI总结：
本文利用PSID数据与越战抽签征兵制识别因果效应，发现兵役并未加剧退伍军人的食物不安全，反而相关家庭食物不安全率更低，并建议政策聚焦现役军人及非传统户主退伍军人。
AI中文摘要：
退伍军人在离开军队后面临多重困难。食物不安全是否是其中之一？本文利用PSID的新数据，考察了兵役对食物不安全的长期影响。以退伍军人为户主的家庭比非退伍军人户主家庭的食物不安全程度更低，且参与联邦营养援助项目的比例也更低。我们利用越战时期的抽签征兵制来识别因果效应，结果发现没有证据表明兵役对食物不安全有不利影响。我们的结果表明，针对现役军人以及不太可能成为传统家庭户主的退伍军人的政策，可能最有效地解决退伍军人中的食物不安全问题。
英文摘要：
Veterans face multiple hardships after they leave the military. Is food insecurity one of these hardships? This paper examines the long-term effects of military service on food insecurity using new data from the PSID. Military veteran-headed households experienced lower food insecurity than non-veteran-headed households, and participated less in federal nutrition assistance programs. We use the Vietnam-era lottery draft to identify causal effects, and find no evidence that military service adversely affects food insecurity. Our results suggest policies that assist currently enlisted service members, and veterans unlikely to head a traditional household, may most effectively tackle food insecurity among military veterans.
