Kenichi Kurita, Nobuaki Hori, Yuya Katafuchi, Stigma model of welfare fraud and non‐take‐up: Theory and evidence from OECD panel data, International Journal of Economic Theory, 10.1111/ijet.12295, 18, 3, 310-338, 2022.08, [URL], This paper attempts to challenge two puzzles in the welfare program. The first puzzle is “non-take-up welfare,” which occurs when needy people do not take up welfare. Second, in some countries, the benefit level is high, but the recipient ratio is low; while the other nations have lower benefit levels but higher recipient ratios. We present a model of welfare stigma in which both non-take-up and welfare fraud exist within the equilibrium. This shows the possibility for the recipient ratio to decrease as the benefit level increases in the comparative statics. Our empirical results are consistent with our theoretical results..

Specifically, we introduce heterogeneity in sensitivity to stigma among low-income and middle-income individuals, respectively, and we incorporate each player's decision to take-up benefits. In addition, we also consider the detection rate by screening for means testing welfare applicants among middle-income individuals. Our results show that a universal basic income scheme is politically supported when the detection rate is high, and means testing welfare scheme is adopted when the detection rate is low..
