at least one page excluding tables, figures and references. Discuss both sides of the issue, and support your arguments with facts. You don't need to draw a conclusion. You do need to properly cite references for the facts that you cite.
For the argument in favor of state subsidies, draw (by hand is OK, but make sure it's neat) a supply and demand diagram that shows the positive externality, the effect of the subsidy, the market outcome, and the socially optimal outcome.
