Descripción
This paper reports the results of a study of the effects of the Indian government's
consumer subsidies on wheat demand. Results indicate consumption of subsidized wheat is
higher in urban areas than in rural areas. The public distribution of wheat in most states
had little effect on demand in the commercial market, which suggests the government is
effective in targeting subsidized wheat to poor consumers.
