我们研究了南非的社会养老金，在那里，一大笔现金——大约是非洲家庭人均收入中位数的两倍——被支付给符合年龄条件的人，而不考虑以前的缴费情况。我们介绍了该计划的历史，并使用1993年全国代表性的调查来调查转移的再分配后果，记录了领取养老金的人，他们的生活水平及其家庭的生活水平。我们还研究了行为效应，特别是现金收入对食品、教育、转移支付和储蓄等收入分配的影响。
We examine the social pension in South Africa, where large cash sums-about twice the median per capita income of African households-are paid to people qualified by age but irrespective of previous contributions. We present the history of the scheme and use a 1993 nationally representative survey to investigate the redistributive consequences of the transfers, documenting who receive the pensions, their levels of living, and those of their families. We also look at behavioural effects, particularly the effects of the cash receipts on the allocation of income to food, schooling, transfers, and savings.
