Abstract: In this study, the effects of an export subsidy for cotton are analyzed using a linear elasticity model. The study explicitly addresses the interaction of current domestic policies with the proposed export subsidy. An export subsidy may be a succesful method of reducing the government costs of the cotton program if beginning price is low relative to the target price and if producer response to higher market prices is low.
