The federal government provides a tax credit of 30% to the producers of wind turbines in the United States. This tax credit acts as a subsidy to the producers in the competitive market, which decreases their input costs. Explain verbally and graphically what happens to the equilibrium price and quantity, discuss the consequences of this subsidy on consumer surplus, producer surplus, total surplus, and deadweight loss (if there is any). True or False? Why? Competitive market outcome isn't Pareto efficient. Use graph(s) to support your argument.
