Economic Analysis of the Effects of Government Transfers
• Effect on Resource allocation• Consumer may consume where MSB is less
that MSC• Loss of willingness to work if after work
income is less• Analysis highlights the equity-
efficiency trade-off

Price Distorting Subsidies
• Price Distorting Subsidies lower the price of the particular good relative to others for eligible people.
![Page 5: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Price Distorting Subsidies
• Example of Housing subsidy– Hiring apartment at below the market rent– Govt pays the difference
• Subsidized Mortgage loans

Price Distorting Subsidies
• Implications:– Induces to purchase a larger amount of housing
that he/she would normally do– Higher level of utility in presence of cash grant
equal to the subsidy– Spending on other goods can also be increased– Dead weight loss
• Difference between E2 and E3
![Page 8: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Price Distorting Subsidies and Market Effects
• Example of Housing Market• Operates on constant cost• Long run supply curve is perfectly elastic• Government agrees to pay half the rent

Excess Burden of Subsidy
![Page 10: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Dead Weight Loss or
Excess Burden
• Dead Weight Loss (sometimes called Excess Burden ) is the measure of the dollar value of the distortion that exceeds the amount transferred to the recipient.
![Page 11: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Implications• Induces low-income people to increase
their consumption – increased demand• More resources are allocated for
building more houses– But value exceeds the benefits
• Important to compare costs to tax payers and the benefits accruing to low income tenants
![Page 12: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Implications• Cost of Subsidy to tax payers
– $200 multiplied by increase in apartments rented after subsidy Area BAE`C
![Page 13: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Implications• Benefits to Low Income Tenants
– Those who would rent one bedroom apartment even without the subsidy.
• $200 multiplied by Q1 (Area BEFC)
– Those who would rent after the subsidy. Net benefit would be the difference between MB they assign to housing and $200 (Area EE`F)
![Page 15: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Excess Burden of Subsidy
![Page 16: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Implications• Total Benefit: Area BEFC + EE`F• Total Cost: Area BAE`C
• So the cost is greater than the benefit and there is excess burden
![Page 17: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Price Distorting Subsidies that Lowers the Price to Zero
• Medicaid – Largest program of assistance to Poor in USA
• Reduced the cost of medical services to “zero”• Assuming annual quantity of medical care
consumed can be measured by number of hospital visits
• Supplied by perfectly competitive industry• MSC doesn’t increase when more is made
available
![Page 18: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Excess Burden

Implications
• Increase in Consumer Surplus• Part of increase is already what would have
been acquired anyway• Excess burden is the due to subsidy in kind• Medicaid recipients would be better off with
cash subsidy
![Page 20: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Additional Effects of Subsidies: The Case of Increasing Costs
• Medicaid not only costs taxpayers money to pay for the program, it also increases the amount they pay for medical services by increasing demand for those services.
![Page 21: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Implications
• Increase in Prices of Medical Services• Tax payers finance the program• Tax payers face the higher medical service
prices for themselves• Overall decrease in real incomes of tax
payers• Losses in efficiency as well as changes in
income distribution
![Page 23: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Subsidizing Housing
• Providing an Apartment: This subsidy allocates a standard apartment to an eligible recipient. With this type of subsidy the recipient cannot supplement the subsidy with their cash. It is a “take it or leave it” option.
• Housing Vouchers: This subsidy allows the recipient a particular allotment of vouchers to rent housing but the recipient may supplement the subsidy with their cash.
• Cash: This subsidy is not restricted to spending on housing.
![Page 24: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Public Housing
• Government constructed low cost housing for low income families
• Rented at well below market rates• Public Housing are expected to increase recipient's
housing consumption• Might reduce housing consumption due to lack of
freedom of choice• Suppose Government offers housing at $30 per
room where the rent for 3 bedroom apartment is 90 $– The same goes for rent in the market for $300
![Page 25: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Subsidizing Food
• Food Stamps are the subsidy that allows the recipient a particular allotment of vouchers to buy food but the recipient may supplement the subsidy with their cash. It is illegal to sell the food stamps though it may be in the recipients interests for them to do so.

The Impact of Government Assistance Programs on Work
• Transfers could cause people to work more or less depending on whether leisure is a normal good.
![Page 30: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
International Food Subsidies
• Several nations use a price-reducing subsidy to make food more affordable.– Programs that reduce the price of food benefit
higher-income people as well.
• Some nations only subsidize food that is typically consumed by the poor.
• Some nations distribute food directly.
![Page 31: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Empirical Evidence
• A 10% increase in welfare payments to individuals decreases work effort by 2%.
![Page 34: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 16: Government Subsidies and Income Support for the Poor Public Finance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8d5503460f94a755a9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
A Negative Income Tax • A Negative Income Tax is a system where there is no
status test but there is an income guarantee and a take-back rate.
• T = IG – tNIE
Where• IG = Income guarantee• tN = take back rate• IE = earned income• T = Transfer

Wage Rate Subsidies
• Wage Rate Subsidies are government additions to wages designed to increase the pay of the working poor.
