What is Proxy Means Tests for Social Targeting about?
The document compares the outcomes of a simulation procedure applying a proxy means test targeting mechanism to urban populations in Jamaica, Bolivia, and Peru. Model IV achieved the best balance of undercoverage and leakage in Jamaica. Targeting accuracy varied across countries and models, with undercoverage generally lower than leakage. Restricting analysis to the poorest half of populations improved targeting accuracy substantially.
