The Price Effects of Cash Versus In-Kind Transfers

Testing Paternalism: Cash vs. In-kind Transfers

Welfare programs are often implemented in-kind to promote outcomes that might not be realized under cash transfers. This paper uses a randomized controlled trial of a governmental food assistance program to test whether this form of paternalism is necessary, comparing precisely measured consumption and health outcomes under both in-kind food and cash transfers. Importantly, households do not in...

Transfers in cash and in-kind: Theory meets the data

We review theoretical explanations for in-kind transfers in light of the limited empirical evidence. After reviewing the traditional paternalistic arguments, we consider explanations based on imperfect information and self-targeting. We then discuss the large literature on in-kind programs as a way of improving the efficiency of the tax system and a range of other possible explanations includin...

Testing Paternalism: Cash vs. In-kind Transfers in Rural Mexico

Welfare programs are often implemented in-kind to promote outcomes that might not be realized under cash transfers. I use a randomized controlled trial of the Mexican government’s Food Assistance Program (‘PAL’) to test whether this form of paternalism is necessary, comparing precisely measured consumption and health outcomes under both inkind food and cash transfers. Importantly, I …nd that ho...

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
