Explain the process by which a private subsidy corrects an external benefit
What will be an ideal response?
If a good or service has an external benefit, an unregulated competitive market will produce less than the efficient quantity. A private subsidy, which is money given to firms, reduces the cost of production. With the subsidy, firms are willing to produce more at any given price. If the subsidy equals the marginal external benefit, production with the subsidy will be at the efficient level.
