The benefit s of externalities to the nation in the long-run.
Explanation of Solution
Subsidization refers to giving subsidy to specific industrial units. The tax revenue collected from various sources finance these subsidies. The resources can be put to various uses and at the same time they are scarce. Thus, using money to benefit single industry would not result in sustainable development.
If industry products benefit all the people of the society, then these types of products would have positive externalities. Solar panel for generating electricity is an example to this. It makes other sources of electricity generation free so that it can be used in various other forms.
