Do Consumer Price Subsidies Really Improve Nutrition?
Many developing countries use food-price subsidies or controls to improve nutrition. However, subsidizing goods on which households spend a high proportion of their budget can create large wealth effects. Consumers may then substitute towards foods with higher non-nutritional attributes (e.g., taste), but lower nutritional content per unit of currency, weakening or perhaps even reversing the su...
متن کاملFood Price Subsidies and Nutrition: Evidence from State Reforms
We investigate whether food price subsidies affect household nutrition using a dramatic expansion of the availability of subsidized rice in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh in the early 2000’s. Households in Chhattisgarh improved their nutritional intake relative to households in districts bordering the state as the availability of subsidized rice expanded. This increase is driven by households...

This paper explores how restricting pharmaceutical search advertising affects the types of information that consumers seek online about drugs. We examine how consumer search patterns changed after the FDA issued warnings to pharmaceutical companies, prohibiting their use of Internet search ads.

متن کاملStrategic price subsidies for new technologies
In the literature, the study of price subsidies of new technologies has focused on the tactical problem of achieving maximum penetration under a budget constraint over a short horizon. In practice, such tactical, short-termpenetration objectives seemboth to adequately reflect the structure ofmany price subsidy programs (e.g., solar energy), and account for their high failure rate. The present p...
متن کاملOutput Price Subsidies in a Stochastic World
This article studies the comparative statics of output subsidies for firms, with monotonic preferences over costs and returns, that face price and production uncertainty. The modeling of deficiency payments, support-price schemes, and stochastic supply shifts in a state-space framework is discussed. It is shown how these notions can be used, via a simple application of Shephard’s lemma, to anal...
