The Impact of Government Subsidies on Electric Motorcycle Adoption in Indonesia

Introduction

The Indonesian government has recently announced a significant subsidy initiative aimed at promoting the adoption of electric motorcycles. With a budget of $455 million (Rp 7 trillion), this subsidy is designed to make electric motorcycles more affordable and accessible to consumers. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance sustainable transportation and reduce carbon emissions across the nation. This paper explores the implications of such subsidies on market dynamics, using economic models to illustrate the changes in supply and demand.

Table Analysis

Market Outcome Description
Equilibrium Quantity Increases from Q* to Qsb
Price Paid by Consumers Falls from P* to Pc
Price Received by Producers Increases from P* to Pp
Amount of Subsidy (Pp - Pc) × Qsb (Shaded Area)
Resource Allocation Over-allocation of resources to Qsb > Q*

Graph Analysis

The graph visually represents the impact of subsidies on market outcomes:

Impacts of subsidies on market outcomes

The original supply curve S1 shifts downward to S2 = S1 - subsidy, reflecting the reduced cost for producers. The intersection with the demand curve D moves from (P*, Q*) to (Pc, Qsb), illustrating the new market equilibrium. The vertical distance between S1 and S2 represents the subsidy per unit, calculated as Rp 7,000,000.
