摘要
We discuss the modelling of the take-up of state support by going beyond the standard analysis and recognising that both the researcher and the welfare agency make errors is assessing entitlement. We apply the discussion to an examination of the take-up of Supplementary Benefits in Britain. By explicitly modelling the costs to taking up state support, we can illustrate how these costs can dampen the welfare impact of state support and mitigate or aggravate welfare agency errors in assessing entitlement.
