Production efficiency and excess supply

Reinhorn, L

Open Access

Abstract

This paper demonstrates that intermediate goods should not be taxed even in the presence of dividend payments to households. We also find that optimal government policy in a second best world may include stockpiles of output—private supply exceeds private demand, and the government purchases the surplus. This may provide a possible explanation for some agricultural policies.
