Industrial pollution is often cited as an example of a negative externality, but what about smoking? Most of you grew up in an era when smoking was much less socially acceptable than when your parents and grandparents were young. Both students and instructors used to smoke in the classroom and it was allowed was allowed in many college classrooms as late as the 1970s. Although few, if any, colleges allow smoking in classroom buildings now, many bars and restaurants have smoking sections. (a) would you be willing to pay smokers to not smoke while they are in the same restaurant or (b) would you choose to sit in a restaurant’s smoking section to avoid a longer wait for a table in a nonsmoking section. Discuss the cost of the externality to you and others.
Suppose the marginal benefit (MB) and marginal cost (MC) curves for emitting particulate matter are given by the following schedules, where E is the quantity of emissions per period. The marginal benefits and costs are measured at the quantities of emissions shown.
