RELATIVE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF INPUT AND OUTPUT SUBSIDIES

Ross M. Parish and Keith McLaren

Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1982, vol. 26, issue 01, 13

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.
