Editing Subsidy (section)

===Production subsidy===
A production subsidy encourages suppliers to increase the output of a particular product by partially offsetting the production costs or losses.<ref name="Collins Dictionary">{{cite web|title=Collins Dictionary of Economics|url=http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/subsidy?showCookiePolicy=true|access-date=2013-09-05|archive-date=2013-09-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927195559/http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/subsidy?showCookiePolicy=true|url-status=live}}</ref> The objective of production subsidies is to expand production of a particular product more so that the market would promote but without raising the final price to consumers. This type of subsidy is predominantly found in developed markets.<ref name="cheapMyers and Kent 2001" /> Other examples of production subsidies include the assistance in the creation of a new firm ([[Enterprise Investment Scheme]]), industry ([[industrial policy]]) and even the development of certain areas ([[regional policy]]). Production subsidies are critically discussed in the literature as they can cause many problems including the additional cost of storing the extra produced products, depressing world market prices, and incentivizing producers to [[over-produce]], for example, a farmer overproducing in terms of his land's [[carrying capacity]].
