1. Market Equilibrium and Incidence of a Subsidy In the market for hazelnuts (Q, measured in kilograms), monthly demand is given by Qd(p) = 280,000 – 20,000p, and monthly supply by QS(p) = 5,000p – 20,000, where p is the price of a kg of hazelnuts (in €). Suppose the government introduces a subsidy (s) of €5/kg. a) Find the equilibrium price received by producers before (p*) and after (ps**) the subsidy. [Hint: A subsidy is just a negative tax,...
