Consider the following simplified scenario. Imagine that the Australian national rugby union(for short, Rugby AU) has exclusive rights to organize the games played by the national team.Rugby AU decides that the next match, between the Wallabies and the All Blacks (i.e., theAustralian and the New Zeeland national rugby teams), will be hosted at the Marvel Stadiumin Melbourne. Rugby AU has no fixed costs for organizing the game, but it must pay a marginalcost MC of $20 per seat to the owners of the Marvel Stadium. Two types of tickets will be soldfor the game: concession and full fare. Based on any official document that attests to their age,children and pensioners qualify to purchase concession tickets that offer a discounted price;everyone else pays the full fare. The demand for full-fare tickets is QF(P) = 120 – 2P. Thedemand for concession tickets is QC(P) = 80 – 2P. Combined/merged market (M) i) Suppose that Rugby AU becomes unable to verify the age of its customers; thus,…
2. In this question we will combine a very simplified model of an externality that has long-lasting impacts with the model of discounted utility that we learned in our game theory topic. Consider a hypothetical environmental externality: produced as the byproduct of industrial activity, each unit of emission of a pollutant that is emitted once, today, causes $10 of external harm to society each and every year, starting immediately, forever. Let's say that policymakers apply a discount factor of 8 € (0, 1) to future gains and losses, in an analog of the discounted utility model except for cash payoffs rather than utilities. What would the socially efficient Pigouvian tax on the emission of this pollutant be if we applied a discount factor of (i) 8 = 0.5, (ii) 6 = 0.9, and (iii) 8 = 0.99? Give an intuitive explanation of how to interpret the parameter & in this context, and explain precisely but in simple terms what the goal and effect of the Pigouvian tax would be.

1. Two people have demands for public good X, where X is units and P is price per unit: Person 1 demand: X1 = 30 - 0.5P1 Person 2 demand: X2 = 20 - 0.5P2 Marginal cost to provide another unit of X is MC = 40. %3D a. Find/write the equation to represent the total (social) marginal benefit (demand) of X. In your answer, explain the difference between finding the total (social) marginal benefit (demand) for a public good compared to a private good. (Note that these demand curves are written quantity as a function of price.). Graph the curves. b. Find the efficient total quantity of X to provide. c. Find the efficient "price" to charge each person. d. Why will the competitive market likely fail to provide the efficient quantity of a public good? Explain.
Do you believe higher education provides our economy with a positive externality? Why or why not? Do you believe the steps that the federal government takes to encourage the socially optimal amount of higher education be produced/consumed is appropriate? Too much? Too little? Why?
