Consider the market illustrated in the figure to the right. Supply curve S, represents the private cost of production and demand curve D₁ represents the private benefit from consumption. Suppose the consumption of this good creates a positive externality. In turn, the social benefit from consumption is represented by demand curve D₂. Show how the externality affects market efficiency. Use the triangle drawing tool to shade in the new economic surplus (New surplus) or the deadweight loss (Deadweight loss) created by the positive externality. Properly label this shaded area. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Price Q S₁ X D₁ D₂ Quantity Q

There are three individuals in society, named A, B and C. The individuals' inverse demand curves for a public good are PA = 20 - 3Q, PB = 35 - 5Q and PC = 45 - Q, and the social marginal cost curve for the public good is given by SMC = Q. What is the optimal amount of the public good? a) 1 b) 9 c) answer 10 d) 100 , show me the method.
Suppose a positive externality is associated with college enrollment. Assume that college instruction is sold in a competitive market and that the marginal social cost of providing it increases with enrollment. Show how a corrective subsidy to college students will increase the market price of instruction. Show the net gain in well-being possible from the subsidy and the amount of tax revenue required to finance its costs on your graph. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

Consider a situation where Ron (R) and Nancy (N) have demands for a public good that can be represented by the following functions: D_R: Q R = 100-2P_R D_N: Q_N = 50-2P_N If Ron and Nancy are the only two consumers of this private good and the supply function for the good is: S: Q = -5 + P What is the social optimum quantity of the public good? Answer:
Suppose that speeding imposes externalities on other people resulting in a social cost of $50. A town is considering hiring an extra police officer to give out speeding tickets. If we want to maximize social welfare (absent enforcement costs), which of the following statements are true? (Assume risk neutral drivers.) What happens to the socially optimal cost of the speeding ticket if the town decides to hire the police officer? a) It goes down b) It goes up c) The amount that it goes down depends on salary of the police officer d) The amount if goes up depends on the salary of the police officer e) None of the above

Refer to Table 8-1 in Question 9. Suppose the cost to build the park is $24 per acre and that the residents have agreed to split the cost of building the park equally, as in Question 10. If the residents decide to build a park with size equal to the number of acres that maximizes total social surplus from the park, how much total surplus (i.e., net benefit) will Xavier receive? (enter just the number, no $)
Distinguish the true statements from the false statements. True False Market failure occurs when negative externalities are present but not when positive externalities are present. The government sometimes intervenes when a market failure occurs. Externalities are the only example of market failure. Market failure occurs when either negative or positive externalities are present. Market failure is when a market provision of a good result in an inefficient quanitity.
Market failure occurs when the private sector fails to distribute our resources efficiently through the pricing system. Externalities and a lack of public goods and services are two examples of market failure.Give an example of a positive and a negative externalities that someone faces in their life. Also, what are some public goods and services that you utilize in your everyday life?
Cause and Individual Example of Market Failure with a Negative Externality In Section 1, externalities are introduced as well as market failures, where the socially optimal output is not the same as what the market produces by itself. For this discussion, your task is to: Describe a real-world negative externality. In your externality identify who are the participants in the market and who receives the spillover How are the incentives for the firm misaligned from the rest of society to make the externality?
Suppose that there is an unregulated market for pesticides. When the factories produce pesticide, they also create waste that they dump into a lake on the outskirts of town. The market for pesticides is given by the following equations (note that Q is in tons, and P is in 1000s of dollars: Demand: P = 8 – Q Supply: P = Q Marginal Social Cost: P = 2 + Q Now suppose the government levies a pollution tax. What is the tax per ton of pesticide that will achieve the socially efficient outcome? If the production of pesticides at any level produces pollution, why is the socially optimal quantity not zero?
An externality arises when a firm or person engages in an activity that affects the wellbeing of a third party, yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effect. If the impact on the third party is beneficial, it is called a externality. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for a good with this type of externality. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the market equilibrium price and quantity for this good. Adjust one or both of the curves to reflect the presence of the externality. If the social cost of producing the good is not equal to the private cost, then you should drag the supply curve to reflect the social costs of producing the good; similarly, if the social value of producing the good is not equal to the private value, then you should drag the demand curve to reflect the social value of consuming the good.
