Distributional Welfare Implications of an Irrigation Water Subsidy
分析加州水稻生产者灌溉水补贴的分配性福利影响，采用更一般均衡的方法，发现未受补贴的生产者因价格下降承担部分成本，而消费者可能通过选择性补贴获益。
Abstract The distributional welfare implications of a subsidy for irrigation water for California rice producers are analyzed. A more general equilibrium approach than that used in previous studies is taken in order to determine the effects of subsidy on consumers, subsidized producers, and unsubsidized producers. The two important policy conclusions of the results are that unsubsidized producers bear part of the cost of a subsidy through lower prices, and that consumers (taxpayers) may gain by sponsoring increased production through a selective subsidy.
