| Abstract: | In recent years there has been burgeoning interest in how private transfers respond to household income, or "transfer derivates". The findings of this study suggest that attempts to aid the poor could be thwarted by private responses, which leak benefits to richer households in the form of lighter burdens of support for less fortunate kin. |
