Abstract

Subsidies have remarkably grown from 4888 billion Rials in 1374 to 23035 billion Rials in 1384. Yet, the poor have not gained much. For example, in energy subsidies, 20 percent of the richest people have gained about 15 times more than the 20 percent of the poorest people. This is because the payments of subsidies are unified and not targeted. Increasing subsidy, budget deficit and low incidence of the poor are the main reason why Iranian government made a decision for targeting subsidies. In fact, targeting subsidies is necessary to distinguish poor families from non-poor families. The survey of targeting methods in 30 Latin American countries indicates PROXY MEANS TEST in developing countries are the best method for targeting subsidies. Therefore, this study employs this method to identify the poor and the non poor. The results show this method could distinguish 79 percent of the poor families, and 21 percent of poor families are identified as non poor families. Moreover, this method identifies 83 percent of non poor families and 17 percent of non poor families are identified as poor families.
