Price-Linked Subsidies and Health Insurance Markups
Subsidies in the Affordable Care Act exchanges and other health insurance programs depend on prices set by insurers – as prices rise, so do subsidies. We show that these “price-linked” subsidies incentivize higher prices, with a magnitude that depends on how much insurance demand rises when the price of uninsurance (the mandate penalty) increases. To estimate this effect, we use two natural exp...
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 کاملDo 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 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...
متن کاملThe Oil Price - Real Output Relationship : Does Persistence Matter ?
The literature on the relationship between real output growth and the growth rate in the price of oil, including an allowance for asymmetry in the impact of oil prices on output, continues to evolve. Here we show that a new technique, which allows us to control for the persistence of oil price changes, yields results implying that such control is necessary for a statistically adequate specifica...
