  • Investigating preferences between cash and in-kind transfers among the food subsidy beneficiaries of India

    Journal of Public Affairs, 2022
    This study examines the beneficiaries' preferences between cash and in‐kind transfer under the ongoing food subsidy program in India and the underlying factors behind that. It is based on a sample survey of 1069 households covering three different states of India namely Odisha, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh. The Probit model is employed to find out the preferences of the beneficiaries between cash and in‐kind transfer. The results reveal overwhelming preferences for in‐kind transfer. The latter emanates from possible food inflation and the endowment effect. However, when fungibility gains significance, people may prefer cash. Among contextual factors, lack of preparedness in terms of banking infrastructure as well as improvement in institutional quality and education level make in‐kind preferable. Hence, despite the need for cash transfer gaining ground, the in‐kind transfer may still be considered a better mode of transfer.
  • Multidimensional impact of food security on household welfare: evidences from a household survey in three Indian states

    PurposeThe welfare impacts of the food security on the beneficiaries can be understood from multiple dimensions. This paper, thus, examines the impact of the India's National Food Security Act (NFSA) on the welfare of the beneficiary households from a multidimensional perspective.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on a sample household survey covering three different states of India. The stratified random sampling technique was used to select the states, districts and blocks. Sample villages and households were selected purposively. A total of 1,523 households comprising 1,069 beneficiary and 454 non-beneficiary households constituted the sample. In order to find out the impact of the programme on different dimensions of welfare, the endogenous switching regression model is employed as it helps control for any absence of randomization and the unobserved heterogeneity bias. Propensity score matching is also employed to supplement the results.FindingsThe substitution effect and income effect of the food subsidy policy combined improve the overall welfare of the households presented through the subjective measures of food consumption behaviour, income transfer and educational achievements. The bargaining effect of the food subsidy programme is reflected in the enhanced social status and women's empowerment. The food security programme seems to augment the food consumption of the beneficiaries as observed from the food consumption score.Research limitations/implicationsThe food security policy has improved the overall welfare of the households and can play a major role in enhancing household welfare even further. The non-beneficiaries' welfare could have increased if they would have been included in the food security programme. The subjective assessment may, however, be subjected to personal biases, and there is also absence of a common reference point. Hence, the implications of the findings may be generalized with caution.Originality/valueThis study provides evidences of the impacts of food subsidy from a multidimensional standpoint considering both subjective and objective dimensions of household welfare.
