Abstract
The behavior of both recipients and administrators tends to convert in-kind Abstract welfare assistance into cash assistance. Therefore, reduction of recipients' utility through constraints on their behavior is not an issue in evaluating in-kind transfers. The main disadvantage of in-kind transfers is instead their reduction of recipients' and donors' utility through excess administrative cost and misdirection of benefits. These patterns are illustrated in the operating experience of WIC, a nutrition program for low-income mothers and children.
