通过评估1982年波多黎各从邮票实际转换为现金的经验，可以估计粮食券这一实物转让的价值。证据表明，邮票的兑现对食品支出没有明显的影响。部分原因在于支出的分配，因为这些邮票对大多数接受者来说都是多余的。然而，一些证据表明，邮票贩运也很普遍，包括从分段线性约束模型估计的间接证据。1989年版权归计量经济学会所有。
The value of one in-kind transfer, food stamps, is estimated by evaluating the experience of an actual conversion from stamps to cash in Puerto Rico in 1982. The evidence indicates that the cashout of the stamps had no detectable influence on food expenditures. The explanation partly lies in the distribution of expenditures, for the stamps were inframarginal for most recipients. However, some evidence indicates that trafficking in stamps was widespread as well, including indirect evidence from estimation of the piecewise-linear constraint model.
