Economic theory

The crowding out effect is when the government's giving essentially lowers the amount of money the private sector would be able to provide themselves. This is always a concern with government grants. For example, if the government provides a categorical grant for education then some states might end up spending less on education than they would have without it because they are able to move to a better level of education without spending as much. This problem occurs when the amount of the grant is less than the state would have been willing to spend originally. They then use the grant to replace what they would have spent and therefore have more money to spend on other goods. Some economists believe in the Flypaper effect instead meaning that when more money is given to an area it tends to stick there like flypaper. This means that the state would essentially raise the budget for a good or service if they continued to get more money for it.
