3. The effect of negative externalities on the optimal quantity of consumption Consider the market for paper. Suppose that a paper factory dumps toxic waste into a nearby river, creating a negative externality for those living downstream from the factory. Producing an additional ton of paper imposes a constant marginal external cost (MEC) of $525 per ton. The following graph shows the demand (marginal private benefits, or MPB) curve and the supply (marginal private costs, or MPC) curve for paper. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the marginal social costs (MSC) curve when the marginal external cost is $525 per ton.

2. Externality. The table below lists the expected daily benefits between a resident that owns a tree and a neighbor who receives benefits from the neighbor's tree in terms of a providing a green canopy, a view, and sheltering wildlife. The owner of the tree receives benefits from having the tree on his yard but must also bear the costs of watering and maintaining the tree. The question is who owns the right to decide if the tree should be cut down or not. Assume both parties can negotiate at zero cost Homeowner Neighbor Tree Stays $25 $35 Tree is Cut Down $40 $30 a. Based on total benefits should the tree survive or be cut down? Explain? b. If the Homeowner were assigned the right to decide the fate of the tree, what would happen to the tree? Explain. c. If the Neighbor were assigned the right to decide the fate of the tree, what would happen to the tree? Explain. Could the Homeowner negotiate with the Neighbor for a different solution? Explain
(a) Shortly explain the relationship between elasticity of a good and the consumption tax rate it should be imposed upon it. (b) What do we man by rivalry of a good? Give examples of rival and non-rival goods. To what extent is rivalry a crucial aspect of a public good? (c) Give examples of positive and negative production and consumption externalities. (so you need to give 4 examples in total) (d) Explain whether the Coase theorem is useful in practice. (e) Define vertical and horizontal equity objectives of a tax system. Which one do you think is more important in establishing equity and/or fairness? (f) What are the political implications of the First and Second Welfare theorems? Shortly explain. 3
