The redistributive effects of four mixed fiscal system in which redistribution in cash is paired with redistribution in kind are investigated. A private good is offered by both the public and the private sector, at a non-zero price in both cases. Thus, the market is vertically segmented and the quality differences are used to select recipients on the basis of their income. This paper shows how an appropriate selection of recipients can add redistributive power to an already redistributive taxation system, while universal public provision never does. A numerical simulation based on Italian data gives some policy insights.
