2. Consider a society consisting with three individuals whose demand curves for a pure public good are Pa = 100-X, P = 110- X, P= 150- X for individual A, B, and C respectively. Marginal costs are constant and equal to $150 for each unit provided. (b) Suppose the government provided this output rate and taxed each person at a rate of $50/unit. Would the voters approve a referendum calling for a 5-unit reduction in X? Why or why not?

Individuals A and B, they both have the following additional equation of demand and cost equation: PA = 140-QA PB = 202 - QB MC = 2Q A. Determine the amount and cost to be received and paid by individuals A and B for Public Goods Private Goods B. Suppose MC = 4Q is the amount and cost to be received and paid by individuals A and B for Public Goods Private Goods 1 C. Explain why Public Goods is not supplied or produced entirely due to Free Rider issues.
Refer to the diagrams below in which figures (a) and (b) show demand curves reflecting the prices Alvin and Elmer are willing to pay for a public good, rather than do without it. If the marginal cost of the optimal quantity of this public good is $6, the optimal quantity must be: $12 10 Alvin (a) 4. 2. 4. $12 10 Elmer 6. 4. (b) 2.

2. In this problem, you will compare the level of a public good chosen under majority voting to the socially-optimal level under three different sets of circumstances. Suppose first that individual i's demand curve for z is given by αi/z, where αi is a positive parameter. Instead of being linear, this demand curve is a hyperbola. Suppose further that z costs $1 per unit to produce (c = 1) and that this cost is shared equally among consumers. Therefore, cost per person is 1/n per unit of z. Then consider the three sets of circumstances listed below. Each situation has a different number of consumers in the economy and different collections of α values for the consumers. The number of consumers is denoted n and the vector of α values is denoted A = (α1,α2,...,αn-1,αn). Case 1: n = 7, A = (4, 2, 12, 4, 5, 13, 8). Case 2: n = 5, A = (10, 6, 11, 14, 8). Case 3: n = 9, A = (6, 9, 10, 4.5, 12, 7, 13.5, 8, 11). Using this information, do the following: a)For each case, compute the preferred z…

A Consider agent A with (inverse) demand curve for the public good P₁ = 60 - 2QA and agent B with inverse demand PB = 90 - 5QB, where prices are measured in £ per unit. The marginal cost of producing the public good is £10 per unit. What is the Pareto efficient level of the public good? Explain. Illustrate in a graph. [Hint: Compute the marginal social benefit of the public good by adding up the demand curves vertically, over the p's]
Consider a non-rival and non-excludeable public good. The government decides whether or not to provide the good based upon a majority vote. If the good is provided all citizens pay an equal share of the cost. Evaluate the following two statements. (i) The good WILL NOT be provided if it is NOT efficient to do so. (ii) The good will be provided if it is efficient to do so. a. Both (i) and (ii) are always true. b. Neither (i) nor (ii) is always true. c. Only (ii) is always true. d. Only (i) is always true.
