Abstract: A theoretical framework is used to develop methods for analyzing the impact of a food stamp transfer versus cash transfer on low-income households' demands for food. Preliminary comparisons suggest that many households I demands will be unaffected by the form of the transfer, but some households who would consume at levels below the U.S.D.A. low-cost food plan with a cash transfer likely demand more food under the stamp transfer.
