The Kornai effect and soft budget constraints
Article Abstract:
The effect of soft-budget constraints by a government on input demands as first defined by Janos Kornai is verifiable through its application to several scenarios of subsidy rate. Known as the Kornai effect, this phenomenon involves the willingness of a government to help losing firms and the consequent rise in input demands. The reason for this relationship has not been well researched although it can be surmised that a form of paternalism partly accounts for such.
