- Abstract
This study examined the impacts of RASKIN Program in Indonesia for the intakes of total calories and three macronutrients of poor households. The impacts are classified into two: poor households who consume rice up to 15 kilograms in a month and more than 15 kilograms a month. Due to the indication of endogeneity problem on subsidy amount received, Instrumental Variable (IV) method is applied. Using the IFLS data which cover the period before and after the subsidy program was implemented, the results show that RASKIN subsidy significantly has positive impacts on the total calorie intake for both types of households, yet has smaller impact on carbohydrate intake of the households whose rice consumption is over 15 kilograms per month
