Forestry is an effective strategy for climate change mitigation. However, forestry activities not only sequester carbon but also release CO2. It is therefore important to formulate carbon subsidy and carbon taxation policies on the basis of the price of carbon. In this study, a forestry-based Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model was built by using input-output data of China in 2014 to con...

Many governments use price and tax subsidization to meet social protection objectives in lieu of, or in addition to, direct income transfers. Such subsidies may be perceived as influencing behavior to further other socially desirable policies. For example, the price response induced by lowering the price of schooling or key food items will both lower the cost of living for the beneficiaries and...

This paper studies how congestion in the public health sector can be used as a redistributive tool. In our model, agents differ in income and they can obtain a health service either from a congested public hospital or from a non congested private one at a higher price. With pure in-kind redistribution, agents fail to internalize their impact on congestion, and the demand for the public hospital...

This study examines the effectiveness of price versus nonprice promotion programs for U.S. poultry exports. A comparative static simulation framework is specified for this purpose. The elasticities needed for the simulation model are estimated using seemingly unrelated regression and time-varying parameter regression techniques. Results from this study indicate that a price subsidy is more effe...

This paper constructs a continuous dual-channel closed-loop supply chain (DCLSC) model with delayed decision under government intervention. The existence conditions of the local stability of the equilibrium point are discussed. We analyze the influence of delay parameters, the adjustment speed of wholesale price, recovery rate of waste products, direct price, carbon quota subsidy, and carbon ta...

The article tests the hypothesis that insurance price subsidies created by rate regulation lead to higher insurance cost growth. The article makes use of data from the Massachusetts private passenger automobile insurance market, where cross-subsidies were explicitly built into the rate structure through rules that limit rate differentials and differences in rate increases across driver rating c...

production subsidies, as a part of the strategy of economic growth of the agricultural sector, are of great importance around the world. subsidizing production inputs, particularly energy input, is another way of directing subsidy to the agricultural sector. in this research, production function of the agricultural sector was estimated using econometric methods and time series data. after calcu...

Over the period 1997 to 2000, the Australian government introduced two waves of price subsidies, then liberalised regulation to encourage private health insurance. Most of the increase in coverage occurred after the liberalization. Thus, it appears that this policy change rather than the earlier subsidies, explains most of the increase. We explore the relative impact of the different policy cha...
