A familiar example of a negative externality is traffic congestion. In principle, it should be possible to internalize this externality by permitting drivers to negotiate about rights to drive during particular time periods. The most likely reason that this does NOT happen is that: Select one: a. Most individuals are unfamiliar with the Coase Theorem Ob. Lawyers would find a way to prohibit such negotiations unless they were actively involved, and this would make transaction costs prohibitive O C Any agreements arising from such negotiations could not be enforced, since the constitution guarantees all individuals freedom of access to all public roads d. The transactions costs associated with identifying and establishing communication among the interested parties would be prohibitive

Now assume that Super Polluter faces competition with the entrant of a new firm, Reducing our Footprint, Inc. The two fırms together split the market and total production, so now they are together emitting 80 tons of carbon dioxide (40 tons each). The EPA sets a goal to reduce these emissions by 40 tons, so they issue pollution permits for the remaining 40 tons only (20 to each firm). The costs of pollution reduction for both firms are shown in the graph below. Pollution Reduction Costs per Unit MCRSP $1,000 MCRROE $400 $300 A В ROF 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 SP 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 Units of Pollution Reduced • What does it cost Super Polluter (SP) to reduce emissions this time? How about Reducing our Footprint (ROF)? • Assuming the pollution permits are tradable, and the cost of a permit settles at $400, how much will Super Polluter and Reducing our Footprint each reduce their pollution? • Including permit costs/income, what will it cost them? • How much does each firm save relative to…
Refer to the figure below, taking the cost of externality into account, which of the following is true? P Po [↑ S₁ = Marginal Social Cost So = Marginal Private Cost Cost of externality D = Marginal Social Benefit O It causes the supply curve to shift to the right. O It causes the supply curve to shift to the left. It increases the equilibrium price and decreases the quantity demanded. It increases the equilibrium price and quantity demanded.

Refer to the below competitive market diagram for product Z. Assume that the current market demand and supply curves fo substantial positive externalities associated with the production of Z, it can be argued that: B 0 Multiple Choice O SA G 52 D₁ D2 an output smaller than G would improve resource allocation. an output greater than G would result in a more efficient allocation of resources. government should levy a per unit excise tax on Z to shift the demand curve toward D₁.
