We studied about the welfare effects of a tax on a good, and now we are asked to consider the opposite policy. Suppose that the govt. subsidizes a good: For each unit of the good sold, the govt. pays $2 to the buyer. How does the subsidy affect consumer surplus, producer surplus, tax revenue, and total surplus? Does a subsidy lead to a deadweight loss?
