A microeconomic model for subsidies allocation: the case of Belarus. pp. 2-13

Summary: The paper develops a microeconomic methodological framework that allows approaching subsidy allocation across the types of assets and impact of subsidies on agricultural outputs and profits. The methodology is based on a non-parametric production frontier estimation. The empirical application is made to 1084 Belarusian corporate farms. The results suggest targeting of the governmental support at the grain and milk production. In this case 4.14 trillion Belarusian roubles of subsidies increase the overall profit of the sample farms by 1.46 trillion. In case of the targeting, the farms with higher overall efficiency are more sensitive to the support and are able to absorb larger amount of subsidies. These relations change to opposite in absence of the targeting.
