	Subsidies and market interventions - Encyclopedia of Earth
		Subsidies are government-provided goods or services, including risk-bearing, that would otherwise have to be purchased in the market.
		Subsidies can also be in the form of special exemptions from standard required payments (e.g., tax breaks).
		Subsidies that harm human health or the environment are often classified as "perverse subsidies." This definition would include policies that subsidize environmentally-intensive or destructive sectors such as energy, mining, farming, fishing, timber, transport, and construction.

		This causes the equilibrium price to decrease from
		This is known as the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply.
		So, for example if you wanted to compare the effect of a price change of gasoline in Europe versus the United States, there is a complicated conversion between gallons per dollar and liters per euro.

	Effect of Taxes on Economic Development, Mark, McGuire, Papke
		The District's tax base is limited by the vast federal presence (over 40 percent of real property is tax exempt) and by federal prohibitions on tax instruments (the District is prohibited from taxing the income of non-resident workers, who comprise 67 percent of the DC workforce).
		Tax incentives include a 20 percent tax credit covering the first $15,000 of wages and certain types of training businesses provide to employees who live and work in the zone, as well as tax and financial incentives for investment in the zone.
		How tax revenues are spent tends to be important, important enough that high relative taxes may not be a deterrent to economic growth if the revenues are used to finance services of value to business, such as education and transportation infrastructure.

		In addition, the continued presence during the phase-out period of institutions needed to administer the price subsidies contributes to the risk of a reversal of the reforms (this was a factor in the reappearance of the bread subsidy in Jordan in 1999, after five years of gradual reform).
		Suppose the price of subsidized rice rises by 50 percent, and that the weight of rice in the expenditures of poor households averages 30 percent, and that of nonpoor households, 10 percent.
		Subsidies that are administered by extrabudgetary funds (such as agricultural subsidies in a number of countries) are sometimes not consolidated with the budget.

		It should be noted also that some of the effects of shortages on the distribution of income and wealth are automatically corrected by the tax system: windfall profits of gasoline dealers and retailers are taxable as income, and so a part of them is in effect returned to the general public.
		The price increases generated by a natural scarcity (or indeed any scarcity not created by the person or firm imposing the increase), while they may generate "windfall profits," are unavoidable in a way that price increases due to a shortage created by a cartel are not.
		However, the higher prices and greater profits induced undamaged refineries to squeeze greater production out of their limited capacity, and companies hastened to repair the refineries that were damaged to cash in on the high prices.

		If the price were $200, it would cover per unit costs for 2 units and so the quantity supplied is 2 when the price is $200.
		If a tax of $200 per unit is imposed on producers of this good, the new equilibrium price will rise to (about) __________and the new equilibrium quantity will fall to (about) _________.
		Some argue that the rent subsidy will not cause the market price of housing to fall from the current $2000 per month, that the subsidies will just be extra income for the landlords, and it won't help workers at all.

		This is related to "marginal" costs, or the price to produce the last unit that can be sold profitably, versus the chance of using the same effort to engage in some other activity.
		In a situation in which there are many buyers but a single monopoly supplier that can adjust the supply or price of a good at will, the monopolist will adjust the price so that his profit is maximized given the amount that is demanded at that price.
		The key idea was that the price was set by the most expensive price, that is, the price at the margin.

		In general, the theory claims that where goods are traded in a market at a price where consumers demand more goods than firms are prepared to supply, this shortage will tend to increase the price of the goods.
		For example a consumer (or "distributor") may be willing to purchase 30 bags of potato chips in the next year if the price is $1 per bag, they may be willing to purchase only 10 bags if the price is $2 per bag.
		Finally, most of the basics of the modern theory of supply and demand was finalized by Alfred Marshall and Léon Walras when they combined the ideas about supply and the ideas about demand and began looking at the equilbrium point where the two curves crossed.

		This is primarily due to the introduction of two new environmental taxes (a CO tax in 1992 and a sulphur tax in 1996) and the implementation of 12 new subsidy schemes.
		The basic idea behind the tax structure as it applies to households, trade and industry is to increase taxation on scarce and environmentally harmful resources, such as fossil fuels, and lowering the taxation on income (for households) and work-related expenses (for trade and industry).
		The table shows the tax payment in per cent of the full tax, when the tax structure is fully implemented in the year 2000, as it relate to households and the public sector, enterprises and the energy utilities.

	Articles of Interest - The Real Price of Gas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The fact that most state income taxes are based on oil firms' deflated federal tax bill results in undertaxation of $125 to $323 million per year.
		When the price of gasoline is so drastically underestimated in the minds of drivers, it becomes difficult if not impossible to convince them to change their driving habits, accept alternative fuel vehicles, support mass transit, or consider progressive residential and urban development strategies.
		The best way, in turn, to accomplish this goal is to eliminate government tax subsidies, program subsidies, and protection subsidies for petroleum companies and users, and to internalize the external environmental, health, and social costs associated with gasoline use.

	A Culture Of Subsidies Inflates Costs (washingtonpost.com)
		In health care, the big culprit is the tax deduction for employer-paid health insurance, which has hard-wired into the American psyche the expectation that companies should pay for their employees' health insurance.
		Unfortunately, the unintended effect of this $112 billion-a-year tax deduction is to make insured consumers largely indifferent to how much health care they consume or what it costs.
		Over time, its effect is to boost the price of the house until it incorporates most of the subsidy.

	Supply and Demand - Notes
		The effect of excess supply is to force the price down, while excess demand creates shortages and forces the price up.
		The price where the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers are prepared to sell is the equilibrium market price.
		Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of demand to a given change in price and is found using the equation:

	Taxes and subsidies on products and imports
		This possibility exists, in particular, in the case of taxes and subsidies directly linked to the quantity or value of the goods and services which are the subject of certain transactions.
		The change in value of the revenue from a tax of this type can also be divided into a volume change, determined by the change in the quantities of products taxed, and a price change corresponding to the change in the taxation price (b × c).
		Non-deductible VAT at constant prices can be calculated by applying the VAT rates in force in the base-year to the flows expressed in the prices of the base-year.

	Ford Foundation: Energy Taxes and Subsidies - 116
		An excise tax is, nevertheless, different from an income tax (even when it is structured to be equivalent), so that one cannot be confident about how the Court would decide.
		This result might be achieved by a tax rate of 7 percent of sales of electricity (or gas), reduced by the ratio of electricity purchased to electricity sold.
		A policy change that removes only part of the discrimination but avoids the complication of a new, intergovernmental tax would be to remove the advantage of tax-exempt financing for publicly owned power companies.
