abstract = {Social transfers vary enormously across the EU, as has been demonstrated in earlier
research. This paper analyses the comparative effects of cash transfers on inequality and
poverty, using consistent household data. The analysis shows that the distributional impact of
these transfers is greater in countries that spend a higher proportion of income on them but
that there are other important determinants, including the distribution of funds between
different types of transfers and the degree of targeting for each transfer.},
