Abstract
Microdata from the National Food Consumption Survey are used to test for differences in caloric and protein intake distributions. We compare poor households that participate in the US food stamp programme to eligible households that do not participate. Tests for stochastic dominance provide unambiguous evidence that eligible nonparticipants suffer from relative undernutrition compared to participating households. Probit analysis is used to identify characteristics of participating and nonparticipating households.
