In the United States, one of the largest welfare programs is the Supplemental NutritionAssistance Program (SNAP)1representing the second largest in-kind transfer programfor individuals in the US. From the abstract of the study we are told “[a] 1% increasein benefits per population raises grocery prices by a persistent 0.08%. A calibratedpartial-equilibrium model implies a marginal benefit dollar raises a recipient’s consumersurplus from groceries by $0.7, producer surplus by $0.5, and lowers each non-SNAPconsumer’s surplus by $0.05.” In other words, increasing the size of the in-kind transferleads to higher prices. This higher price results in a larger surplus for grocery stores anda lower consumer surplus for individuals not participating in SNAP. Those individualswho participate in SNAP can increase their overall consumer surplus as they haveaccess to more goods, despite the higher price. This result is estimated using thenearly 100% redemption of the SNAP benefits (i.e. assuming the…
