We examine the targeting performance of two programs created to respond to the social impacts of Indonesian crisis. We find strong evidence that subsidized sale of rice program was targeted to the "permanently" poor, while employment creation program was more responsive to expenditure shocks. A household which began in the third quintile of expenditures pre-crisis but was in the worst quintile by expenditure shock was four times more likely to have participated in the employment creation program than household which experienced the most positive shock. In contrast, the same household was only 50 percent more likely to receive subsidized rice (JEL I38).
