Application Outcomes Under Universal Knowledge; ReferencesMexico's main social support program, Oportunidades, combines two methods to target cash to poor households: an initial self-selection by households who acquire knowledge about the program and apply for benefits, followed by an administrative determination of eligibility based on a means test. Self-selection improves targeting by excluding high-income households, while administrative targeting does so mainly by excluding middle-income households. The two methods are complementary: expanding program knowledge across households substantially increases applications from non-poor households, thus IMF working paper ;WP/09/60.Public welfareMexicoSocial serviceMexicoElectronic books.Public welfareSocial serviceCoady David629944Parker Susan941360International Monetary Fund.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464257703321Targeting social transfers to the poor in Mexico2123262UNINA
