Descripción
This study investigates the impact of the 'Rice for the Poor' program - an almost universal
program of Indonesian Social Safety Net (SSN) Programs launched in 1998. The general aim
of the program was to mitigate the decrease of household nutrition well-being. The program
has provided highly subsidized rice for poor households. Using the Indonesian Family Life
Survey, this study implements propensity score matching combined with difference in
difference method. It is revealed that the program has increased households' consumption on
nutrient-rich, animal source food though aid-fungibilty was also present.
