Relative Cost‐Effectiveness Of Input And Output Subsidies

Author

  • Ross M. Parish
  • Keith Robert McLaren

Abstract

A subsidy on a single input is compared with an output subsidy as a means of stimulating output, and the conditions under which the single input subsidy is (a) more treasury cost-effective and (b) overall the more socially efficient measure, are explored. Rationalisations for input subsidies, particularly fertiliser subsidies, are examined in the light of the results.
