2. Last year, nearly 200 countries agreed on a plan to limit greenhouse gas emissions, in an effort to limit climate change. One of the challenges in creating such a plan is that climate change is a global phenomenon, depending on total emissions from all countries. Which of the following best describes the benefits of a plan that reduces global warming? a. It's a common pool resource; countries will tend to contribute too much to global warming efforts b. It's a public good; countries will tend to contribute too much to global warming efforts C. It's a common pool resource; countries will tend to contribute too little to global warming efforts d. It's a public good; countries will tend to contribute too little to global warming efforts e. None of the above

Suppose that this industry results in extreme externalities. What can be said about its optimal output? b. Draw the supply and demand curves for paper. Does the supply curve reflect the true social costs of producing the product? If not will a supply curve reflecting the true social costs lies above or below the supply curve you have drawn? c. What is the equilibrium price of paper? From the point of view of reflecting the true social costs, is this price the correct one, or too low or too high?

4. Efficiency in the presence of externalities Cars impose many external costs on society: carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to air pollution, congestion on roadways, and so on. Therefore, the market quantity of cars is not equal to the efficient quantity. The following graph shows the private demand for cars, the private supply of cars, and the social supply of cars, which incorporates both private costs and external costs. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the market quantity. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the socially optimum quantity. Note: Drop lines will extend to both axes automatically. DERIVATE QUARKET O5OCIAL SSOCIAL SPRVATE QUANTITY OF CARS From society's standpoint, the market is producing cars. This is an example of of resources. PRICE OF CARS
