A government plans to plant a new forest to provide a recreation facility and help combat climate change. Estimates of the costs and benefits are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Private Social Private costs Social costs benefits benefits £ million 13 9 14 16 From the figure in Table 1, it can be concluded that the forest project will have A negative production externalities of £9 million. B positive consumption externalities of £16 million. C positive production externalities of £4 million. D total externalities of £25 million. 0000
43. A city currently emits 16 million gallons (MG) of raw sewage into a lake that is beside the city. Table 12.13 shows the total costs (TC) in thousands of dollars of cleaning up the sewage to different levels, together with the total benefits (TB) of doing so. Benefits include environmental, recreational, health, and industrial benefits. TC TB 16 MG Current Current 12 MG 50 800 8 MG 150 1300 4 MG 500 1850 O MG 1200 2000 Table 12.13 a. Using the information in Table 12.13 calculate the marginal costs and marginal benefits of reducing sewage emissions for this city. b. What is the optimal level of sewage for this city? How can you tell?

1. Explain how a global-positioning anti-theft device installed by one car owner can produce a positive spill over to other citizens in a community. 2. Why are fish in the ocean an example of a resource that suffers from the tragedy of the commons but cattle grazing in a farmer’s pasture does not suffer from the tragedy of the commons?
3. The effect of negative externalities on the optimal quantity of consumption Consider the market for steel. Suppose that a steel manufacturing plant dumps toxic waste into a nearby river, creating a negative externality for those living downstream from the plant. Producing an additional ton of steel imposes a constant marginal external cost (MEC) of $165 per ton. The following graph shows the demand (marginal private benefits, or MPB) curve and the supply (marginal private costs, or MPC) curve for steel. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the marginal social costs (MSC) curve when the marginal external cost is $165 per ton. PRICE (Dollars per ton of steel) 1100 990 880 770 660 550 440 330 220 110 0 0 + 1 O ☐ O 2 0 H 3 ▬ The market equilibrium quantity is O 4 5 QUANTITY (Tons of steel) ☐ ☐ 6 Supply (MPC) Demand (MPB) 7 MSC ? tons of steel, but the socially optimal quantity of steel production is To create an incentive for the firm to produce the socially optimal quantity…
5. Property rights and market failures Loggers are much likely to supply wood to the market if property rights are not enforced. In the presence of market failures, public policy can improve economic efficiency. Classify the source of market failure in each case listed. Market Market Failure Power Externality A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream. A single grocery store is the only source of food in a small town, giving the store the ability to influence the price of food.

3. If the government issues tradeable pollution permits, does it matter for economic efficiency (social welfare) whether all firms receive the same amount of permits, or whether some firms receive more permits than others?
5. The marginal benefits (MB) and marginal damage costs (MD) for daily particulate air pollution in East St. Louis, Illinois are given in the following figure: $ per pound per day 2 MB MD 1 Pounds 1,000 2,000 per day a. What is the efficient level of pollution in pounds per day? Explain. b. If East St. Louis imposes an absolute ban on particulate pollution, how large would be the deadweight loss? (Be quantitative.) c. If instead of an absolute ban, the city levels a Pigouvian tax on polluters, how large should it be per pound per day to achieve efficiency? What will be the total revenues to the government? What will be the gain or loss to residents compared to the absolute ban? What will be the after tax gain or loss to polluters compared to the absolute ban? d. If instead of an absolute ban, the right to be free of pollution is given to the residents and they are allowed to bargain with the polluters, what level of pollution will Coase expect to be bargained between polluters and…
