dc.description.abstract	We use propensity score analysis to evaluate impact of two different Cash transfers; Benazir Income Support Program and Zakat; on household expenditure shares in Pakistan. The Household Integrated Economic Survey 2018-19 is used as the data set to obtain results. BISP payments tend to create dependency and in general are unproductive. We do find some evidence that Zakat improves living standards and human capital. The data for Zakat is limited and needs further exploration to determine its importance, especially in contrast with other social safety nets.	en_US
