Spillover effects of targeted subsidies available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. While there is growing evidence of the impact of targeted subsidies on private input demand, as far as we are aware no empirical studies have examined the spillover effects of targeted subsidies for just one input on the use of other complementary inputs with which there is low substitutability. Consequently, this study begins to fill this gap by exploring the effect of increasing access to subsidized fertilizer on farmers use of improved seed in Nigeria.

This book reviews the prevalence and variants of consumer subsidies found in the developing world and the effectiveness of these subsidies for the poor. It places consumer subsidies in a broader social protection framework and compares them with poverty-focused programmes in other sectors using a common metric. It concludes that the most common subsidy instruments perform poorly in comparison with most other transfer mechanisms. Alternative consumption and connection subsidy mechanisms show more promise, especially when combined with complementary non-price approaches to making utility services accessible and affordable to poor households. The many factors contributing to those outcomes are dissected, identifying those that can be controlled and used to improve performance.

Spillover Effects of Medicaid Expansion on Private Premiums available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Affordable Care Act is one of the most debated and dividing pieces of legislation in recent memory. One of the main elements of the ACA is the optional expansion of Medicaid eligibility to 138 % of the federal poverty line. The current debate has focused on the direct effects of the newly covered vs. the accounting cost of doing so, but there are also important other spillover effects to consider. In states that refused the Medicaid expansion, there exists a coverage gap that the private market will, at least partially, pick up. This gap, and the portion picked up, are not random and systematically exhibit higher expected costs. This raises prices for everyone taking part in the health insurance exchanges in states that refused the expansion. Our contribution is three-fold. We first confirm the interaction between the individual market and Medicaid expansion. We find that refusing the Medicaid expansion increases average monthly premiums by $22.94, an increase of 7.6 %. Our second and third contributions are more novel. We use a sharp discontinuity in the subsidy rates and find the premium increase is due to asymmetric information arising from the cost sharing reduction subsidies. We also provide a clean estimation of -0.34 for the price elasticity of healthcare in a pseudo-random experimental setting. Finally, we are able to separate the asymmetric information effect into adverse selection and moral hazard and find the moral hazard effect dominates.
