subsidy reduces production. How ?
supply curve is upward sloping. if it shifts downwards, for a given price, more quantity is produced (draw it out) subsidy doesn’t reduce production, it reduces price and increases quantity. the best way to see this is to draw supply and demand curves, and shift supply curve downwards and compare to the previous equilibrium.
OK I see it perfectly thank you cielito
