Give examples of rival and non-rival goods. To whatextent is rivalry a crucial aspect of a public good?(c) Give examples of positive and negative production and consumption externalities. (so you needto 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 moreimportant in establishing equity and/or fairness?(f) What are the political implications of the First and Second Welfare theorems? Shortly explain. 3

Suppose that Sonys R. Is this a private or social benefit?
Refer to Table 12.2. The externality created by the refrigerator production was 100. However, once we accounted for both the private and additional external costs, the market price increased by only 50. If the external costs were 100 why did the price only increase by 50 when we accounted for all costs?
Table 12.12, shows the supply and demand conditions for a firm that will play trumpets on the streets when requested. QS1 is the quantity supplied without social costs. QS2 is the quantity supplied with social costs. What is the negative externality in this situation? Identify the equilibrium price and quantity when we account only for private costs, and then when we account for social costs. How does accounting for the externality affect the equilibrium price and quantity?
What is a marketable permit and what incentive does it provide for a firm to account for external costs?
(Negative Externalities) Suppose you wish to reduce a negative externality by imposing a tax on the activity that creates that externality. When the amount of the externality produced per unit of output increases as output increases, the correct tax can be determined by using a demand-supply diagram; show this. Assume that the marginal private cost curve slopes upward. Negative Externalities: The Market for Electricity in the Midwest:
What are the two key characteristics of public goods?
What is a pollution charge and what incentive does it provide for a firm to take external costs into account?
Assume that the marginal private costs of a film producing fuel-efficient can; is greater than the marginal social costs. Assume that the marginal private benefits of a firm producing fuel efficient cars are the same as the marginal social benefits. Discuss one wags.r that the government cans ï¬‚y to increase production and sales of fuel efficient cars to the socially desirable amount. Hint: the government is flying to affect production through costs, net benefits.
What is the difference between private costs and social costs?
мсо 46 If the units of output purchased in a competitive market generate positive externality benefits, we can infer that the competitive equilibrium outcome is such that: A the market price is equal to marginal social benefit B marginal private cost is greater than the market price C I do not want to answer this question. D marginal private cost is greater than marginal private benefit E marginal private cost is less than marginal social benefit F marginal private benefit is greater than marginal social benefit
