No 4404, IDB Publications (Working Papers) from Inter-American Development Bank

Abstract: In the recent study, we attempt to contribute to clarify the discussion of targeting and universalization by analyzing fundamental theoretical, ethical, analytical, and empirical concepts involved. We believe that by precisely defining these concepts we may also contribute to the development of more effective social policies for fighting inequality and poverty.
