考虑预算约束的养老服务补贴策略OA

With the gradual deepening of population aging in China,the government has introduced various subsidy policies to promote the development of the elderly care service industry.However,given the large and growing elderly population,the continuous increase in subsidy expenditures has placed significant pressure on public finances.Taking the government's no-subsidy strategy as a benchmark and incorporating budget constraints,this paper analyzes the impacts of three subsidy strategies on the elderly care service industry:subsidizing nursing homes,subsidizing consumers(the elderly),and mixed subsidies(i.e.,subsidizing both nursing homes and the elderly).The findings indicate that subsidy policies do not always improve social welfare;excessive subsidies may instead reduce overall welfare.Compared with subsidizing nursing homes,subsidizing the elderly is not always the optimal strategy;the optimal choice depends on the size of the government's subsidy budget.The mixed subsidy strategy is most sensitive to the government's budget level and can achieve the highest level of social welfare.
