Abstract: We discuss the redistribution effects of transfer using a conditional‐choice general equilibrium model. We calibrate it to UK data for the early 2000s. Results indicate that a money‐metric measure of the welfare value of transfer received by the bottom decile of UK households equals 17% of the cash transfer.
