[Antonia Delius @AntoniaDelius]

Check out my research with @OlivierSterck on how restricted cash transfers in imperfect markets can lead to businesses capturing some of the benefits by raising prices, at the expense of transfer recipients. It's summarized in the VoxDev blog post below!

🆕 Businesses profiteer from humanitarian cash transfers through price hikes

Today on VoxDev, @AntoniaDelius @OxfordEconDept & @OlivierSterck @UAntwerpen outline the market and business impacts of a cash transfer programme in Kenya: https://t.co/Pt7B2k1Ia0

[Antonia Delius @AntoniaDelius]

Specifically, we study a humanitarian cash transfer program for refugees in Kenya and argue that that addressing imperfections in the markets in which the transfer is spent is crucial to maximize positive impacts for recipients.
