"@zachary_bartsch @JustinWolfers @HicksCBER Here's a well done paper that finds food stamps do increase food spending but also "households are inframarginal and respond similarly to one dollar in cash income and one dollar in food stamps""

"@HicksCBER @kpomerleau Yes and the only way it could be temporarily stimulative is because the poor have a higher MPC than the rich. But in the long run less savings by the rich means lower GDP growth so it can't actually be true in the long run"

"@zachary_bartsch @JustinWolfers @HicksCBER In other words SNAP benefits are just treated as additional income by recipients (on average) so they spend more on food but also more on all other goods that they purchase -- there's no special impact on food spending (and it's a small effect)"

"@JustinWolfers @HicksCBER Also families on SNAP probably aren't actually spending much more on food than they would without them so the increase in demand is probably small. It's effectively just shifting out their budget constraint (There is probably empirical evidence on this -- I am just guessing)"
