Household Food Security and Tradeoffs in the Food Budget of Food Stamp Program Participants: An Engel Function Approach

Using data from the Current Population Survey, researchers found that Food Stamp households have higher at-home food spending and lower away-from-home-spending than comparable non-participants.
