Subsidy Programs and Financing

Governments provide subsidy to encourage certain economic activities or support broader national goals. Subsidies are typically offered in the form of cash payments, grants or tax breaks. They can also be secured or a low-interest loans. Subsidies could help communities in need obtain healthcare, education or housing. They also can provide benefits to businesses, like lower taxes and purchases by the government of their products.

Many critics of subsidy programs expose the negative incentives that they create. They claim that subsidies create the conditions for a mutually beneficial relationship between businesses and politicians which encourages them to contribute to campaigns and demand preferential treatment from decision makers. They also argue that subsidies can discourage innovation and inefficiency because they make companies that rely on them less likely than others to invest in new technologies or adapt their business model to meet the demands of consumers.

No matter what the goal the impact of these subsidies may be difficult to determine and include significant costs that aren’t evident in projections of the government. They may also be a source of more efficient public spending.

When governments subsidize the production of energy, they can lower the price of solar panels for homeowners and also assist companies that sell them by providing tax credits or cutting their prices. They can also encourage consumers to purchase of services or goods, for instance, by providing subsidies to families that pay some of their insurance costs. A government can also encourage people to take out federal loans by offering low interest rates, deferred payments or flexible payment plans.
