In this paper, we consider the subsolutions of the Monge-Ampère type equations $ {\det}^{\frac{1}{n}}(D^2u+\alpha I) = f(u) $ in $ \mathbb{R}^{n} $. We obtain the necessary and sufficient condition of the existence of subsolutions.

Keywords: Monge-Ampère type equations, entire subsolutions, existence.
