What are the key differences among public production, private subsidies, and vouchers?

What will be an ideal response?


Public production means that the government is the producer of the product. Private subsidies, however, are given to private producers of the product. Both public production and private subsidies affect the supply-side of the market. Vouchers, however, are given to households to help pay for the product. Vouchers therefore affect the demand-side of the market.
