Cash or In-kind Transfers? Evidence from a Randomised Controlled Trial in Delhi, India
通过印度德里的随机干预实验，比较无条件现金转移与实物粮食券对贫困家庭的影响，发现现金转移不会降低粮食安全，反而让家庭转向更多营养选择。
This article examines a randomised intervention in Delhi, India, that provided unconditional cash transfers to a group of households as a replacement for the food security offered by a below-poverty-level card. The experimental approach can differentiate beneficial effects due to either unconditional cash transfers or newly opened bank accounts. The unconditional cash transfer does not induce a decline in food security; rather, it provides opportunities for households to shift to other nutritious options in non-cereal product categories.
