Download Self-Targeted Food Subsidies and Voice Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper studies the targeting outcomes of a self-targeted rice subsidy program in the Philippines. We find modest within-community targeting outcomes, but weak between-community targeting. This appears to be because, controlling for the direct influence of household characteristics, participation was lower in poorer communities. These inter-community differentials are strongly correlated with several proxies for citizen “voice,” including education, income, and access to other public services. This suggests that self-targeting outcomes are not simply a function of the good selected for subsidy, but are also influenced by variations in communities' access to usable services; that these variations favor richer communities; and that efforts to enhance consumer voice in disenfranchised communities would facilitate targeting improvements.

Download Subsidized Food Distribution with Variable Service Quality Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper considers quality control in a program that distributes subsidized food. The standard theory of price controls and participatory approaches to food security both suggest that the quality of subsidized food and distribution services may be lower in vulnerable communities. We examine this suggestion in the context of a self-targeted rice subsidy program run by the Philippines National Food Authority (NFA) in 2006. We find that even though NFA rice is demanded more by poorer, less educated and more rice-dependent households, observationally equivalent households in poorer, less educated and more rice-dependent local markets had lower demand for NFA rice. This suggests that needier and less empowered locations received lower quality service. Moreover, we find that these more vulnerable, lower-demand locations were also badly served by several other public services, suggesting that they lack “voice”. These results highlight an important consideration in the debate on whether food security programs should distribute food or cash. The quality of cash distribution services should be easier to control.

Download From Universal Food Subsidies to a Self-targeted Program Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
World Bank Discussion Paper No. 336. Discusses the influence of targeted credited intervention programs among participants and non-participants living in program areas and compares them with poverty situations of households in non-program areas. The data are randomly drawn from 1,800 households in Bangladesh from both areas. The analysis shows that it takes about five years for participants to rise above the poverty line and eight years to graduate from program eligibility.

Download Subsidy Reform in the Middle East and North Africa Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries price subsidies are common, especially on food and fuels. However, these are neither well targeted nor cost effective as a social protection tool, often benefiting mainly the better off instead of the poor and vulnerable. This paper explores the challenges of replacing generalized price subsidies with more equitable social safety net instruments, including the short-term inflationary effects, and describes the features of successful subsidy reforms.

Download Targeting of Transfers in Developing Countries Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Drawing on a database of more than one hundred anti-poverty interventions in 47 countries, 'Targeting of Transfers in Developing Countries' provides a general review of experiences with methods used to target interventions in transition and developing countries. Written for policymakers and program managers in developing countries, in donor agencies, and in NGOs who have responsibility for designing interventions that reach the poor, it conveys what targeting options are available, what results can be expected as well as information that will assist in choosing among them and in their implementation. Key messages are: - While targeting 'works' - the median program transfers 25 percent more to the poor than would a universal allocation - targeting performance around the world is highly variable. - Means testing, geographic targeting, and self-selection based on a work requirement are the most robustly progressive methods. Proxy means testing, community-based selection of individuals and demographic targeting to children show good results on average, but with considerable variation. - Demographic targeting to the elderly, community bidding, and self-selection based on consumption show limited potential for good targeting. - There is no single preferred method for all types of programs or all country contexts. Successful targeting depends critically on how a method is implemented. The CD-ROM includes the database of interventions, an annotated bibliography (PDF) and Spanish and Russian translations of the book (PDFs).

Download Fuel and Food Price Subsidies - Issues and Reform Options Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Government price subsidies are pervasive in developed, emerging, and low-income countries. A subsidy is a form of government intervention resulting in a deviation of an actual price facing consumers and producers from a specified benchmark price. Subsidies affect consumption and production patterns as well as the distribution of resources, with important implications for the budget, expenditure composition, and long-term growth. They can and often do involve fiscal costs, but not all affect government fiscal accounts in the same way. Price subsidies have spillover effects onto prices and quantities in domestic, regional, or global markets. This paper discusses the key issues and policy options in the reform of subsidies for fossil fuels and selected food commodities, and their implications for the work of the Fund.
