"Economywide Impacts of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program" by Osanya, Jessica and Jeff Reimer Abstract Most SNAP research focuses on individuals who receive SNAP while ignoring the broader economy. We develop a general equilibrium model of the U.S. economy to quantify SNAP’s broader fiscal consequences. We find that SNAP expands the agricultural and food sectors by about 1% while shrinking service sectors favored by higher-income households. Effects on goods and factor prices are modest yet quantifiable, with virtually no distortionary effects (deadweight losses) of taxation to fund SNAP. SNAP improves the welfare of low-income recipient households by 4.9%, while having a negligible adverse effect on high-income households. |
