Abstract: Private transfers are a market mechanism that changes the inequality in the distribution of income. Should the government increase or reduce the size of Pareto efficient public transfers after observing an increase in inter vivos pri-vate transfers that reduces (increases) inequality in the distribution of income? In this paper we provide an answer to this question. Our analysis identifies con-ditions in which private transfers change income inequality and crowd out gov-ernment’s transfers in a targeted redistributive program, but increase the size of public trans fers in a broad base redistributive program
