Empirical determinants of in-kind redistribution: Partisan biases and the role of inflation

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: There is a dearth of research on the determinants of in-kind redistribution. Using dynamic panel data estimations for 32 OECD countries, we show that the in-kind share of social benefits is lower under left-wing governments. This effect is weakened when left-wing governments respond to inflation by increasing the share of in-kind transfers.
