Effects of subsidized wheat consumption by state in India
研究了印度政府小麦消费补贴的效果,发现城市补贴消费高于农村,且公共分配对商业市场需求影响小,说明补贴有效瞄准了贫困消费者。
This paper reports the results of a study of the effects of the Indian government's consumer subsidies on wheat demand. Results indicate consumption of subsidized wheat is higher in urban areas than in rural areas. The public distribution of wheat in most states had little effect on demand in the commercial market, which suggests the government is effective in targeting subsidized wheat to poor consumers.
