Abstract

The Kornai effect refers to situations where soft budget constraints lead to higher input demands. This paper studies the Kornai effect under different scenarios: nonrandom subsidy rate, random subsidy rate, and random and endogenous subsidy rate; and gives sufficient, sometimes necessary and sufficient, conditions for the Kornai effect to exist.
