SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Double Duty: A Subsidy Design for\\Quality Promotion and Price Discipline
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies how the design of quality-linked subsidies shapes firm behavior in both quality choices and pricing decisions. We examine a major reform in Medicare Advantage that links subsidies to quality through two distinct policy parameters. We develop and estimate a structural model of demand and firm behavior to evaluate the reform\, decompose its effects\, and compare alternative quality-linked subsidy designs. A central finding is that a subsidy design that links product quality to both the subsidy level and the pass-through from firm prices to subsidized consumer prices can simultaneously raise quality and lower prices.
