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

Suppose there are two residents in a neighborhood, and you know both of their demand curves for a public good. What would you have to do in order to figure out what the social demand curve? A.Multiply the two demand curves together B.Add their demand curves together C.Subtract the demand of the person with the lower valuation of the public good from the demand of the person with the higher valuation of the public good D.Subtract the demand of the person with the higher valuation of the public good from the demand of the person with the lower valuation of the public good
Any reference to the presence of "an externality in a market" is associated with principle # Principle #1: People (Including Individuals and Society As a Whole) Face Tradeoffs Principle #2: The Cost of Something is What You Give Up to Get It Principle #3: Rational People Think at the Margin Principle #4: People Respond to Incentives Principle #5: Trade Can Make Everyone Better Off Principle #6: Markets Are Usually A Good Way to Organize Economic Activity Principle #7: Governments Can Sometimes Improve Market Outcomes Principle #8: A country's standard of living depends on its ability to produce goods and services. Principle #9: Prices rise when the government prints too much money. O Principle #10: Society faces a short-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.
The following is a copy of the information from Question 1: Consider Product NE, which has a negative externality associated with its production and use ( i.e., the “Incidental Cost” ( IC) of each unit of Product NE is greater than zero). You are told that : * The “Efficient” Output of Product NE = 9000 units * The Free-Market Equilibrium Output of Product NE = 10,000 units * The Consumer’s Surplus + Producer’s Surplus on Unit Number 6000 ( i.e., on that one unit ALONE) is equal to $ 70 ( i.e., the sum of CS + PS = $ 70) * The Cumulative Surplus on the first 9000 units produced is equal to $ 175,000 ( i.e., the sum of the surplus( to society) on ALL 9000 units adds up to $ 175,000) Is the Cumulative Surplus on the first 10,000 units ( i.e., ALL 10,000 units together) greater than $ 175,000, less than $ 175,000, or exactly equal to $ 175,000 ? a.

Public wifi hotspots grant many external benefits on society: more equitable access to the internet, increased educational opportunities, and so on. Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of public wifi hotspots does not equal the socially optimal quantity. The following graph plots the demand for public wifi hotspots (their private value), the supply of public wifi hotspots (the private cost of producing them), and the social value of public wifi hotspots, including both the private value and external benefits. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the market equilibrium quantity. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the socially optimal quantity.
Suppose there are only two consumers in the market for a public good. The figure to the right shows marginal benefit lines for a public good for the two individuals, Andrew (A) and Brenda (B). Use the line drawing tool to draw and label the social marginal benefit line. Make sure that the line extends from quantity level 0 to 10 as the private marginal benefit lines do. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object.

Consider the market illustrated in the figure to the right. Supply curve S₁ represents the private cost of production and demand curve D₁ represents the private benefit from consumption. Suppose consumption of this good creates a positive externality. Show how the externality affects the market. 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw either a new supply (S₂) or demand (D₂) curve incorporating the positive externality in consumption. Properly label this line. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the market equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'Market equilibrium'. 3.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the efficient equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'Efficient equilibrium'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Price Quantity S₁ D₁ N
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.
