SUBSIDIES

A  SUBSIDY GIVEN TO THE PRODUCERS PROVIDES A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE FOR THEM TO SUPPLY MORE. BESIDES BEING PAID BY THE CONSUMER , THEY ARE NOW
BEING PAID BY GOVERNMENT ALSO. AS A RESULT, THE GRANTING  OF SUBSIDY WILL  CAUSE AN INCREASE IN SUPPLY WHILST THE REMOVAL OF SUBSIDY WILL  CAUSE A DECREASE IN SUPPLY.  MOST  COUNTRIES THROUGH OUT  THE WORLD SUBSIDISE SOME  AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. A NUMBER  OF THEM ALSO GIVE SUBSIDIES TO NEW AND IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES.
     LESS  FREQUENTLY, A GOVERNMENT MAY ALSO GIVE A SUBSIDY TO CONSUMERS,
 TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO BUY  A PARTICULAR  PRODUCT .FOR EXAMPLE GRANTS MAY BE GIVEN TO HOUSEHOLDS  TO ENABLE THEM TO BUY HOUSES. IN THIS CASE, OF COURSE IT IS DEMAND AND  NOT SUPPLY CONDITIONS WHICH CHANGE.
