Assistance to poor households when income is not observed: targeted in-kind and in-cash transfers

Article Abstract:

It is shown that a combination of in-kind and in-cash transfers tied to the consumption of a publicly provided private good targeted to the poor becomes very useful when non-poor households have different participation costs. It is demonstrated that the publicly provided good ends up being undersupplied, and the distortion becomes less important as participation costs rise.
