Economics Working Papers from European University Institute

Abstract: Demand increases for public transfers in transition economies as output falls and living standards decline but government revenues cannot match these demands. This is one reason for considering the role of private transfers between households in such economies, and their relationship with private transfers. This paper considers the evidence on private transfers in former Soviet Central Asia, drawing on data from a specially designed module of questions in a survey of 1500 households conducted in Uzbekistan in 1995.
