Abstract
We evaluate the relative and multiple overlapping effects of two main social
protection programs in Indonesia, namely Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) and
in-kind transfer/Subsidized Rice Program (Raskin), on food and nutrition
security. Using panel data that recorded both CCT and Raskin recipient status,
we estimate the impact of CCT and Raskin using both Inverse Probability
Weighting models and conventional regression method. We find that CCT had a
much greater impact on food and nutrition security than Raskin. However, the
multiple-treatment effect between CCT and Raskin is not significantly different
from zero. The results suggest to reformulate these overlapping policies.
