| Abstract: | Using a conditional-choice general equilibrium model, this paper deals with the redistribution effects of transfer. The model is calibrated to the U.K. data for the early 2000s. Results indicate that a money-metric measure of the welfare value of transfer received by the bottom decile of U.K. households equals 17 percent of the cash transfer. |
