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.

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.
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. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Parks confer many external benefits on society: open space, trees that reduce pollution, and so on. Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of parks is not equal to the socially optimal quantity. The following graph shows the demand for parks (their private value), the supply of parks (the private cost of producing them), and the social value of parks, 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.
A. Figure 10-8 (above)- For the described positive externality, what is the market quantity without any efforts to correct the market? B. For a positive externality, briefly explain why and how the government may get involved in the market. In your response, provide an example (type of product or service).
An externality, which is sometimes also called a (Spillover OR Social cost) , can have a negative or a positive impact on the third party. An externality occurs when an exchange between a (Buyer and seller OR Population of two cities) has an impact on a third party who (Is not OR is) part of the exchange. For a negative externality, the private costs of an action are (Less or More) than the costs imposed on society as a whole. For a positive externality, the private benefits of an action are (Less or More) than the social benefits. An example of positive externality is (Vccination OR Good wether), whereas an example of negative externality is (Population OR Hurricane)
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:
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.
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.

Some economists think that gas taxes in Europe, averaging around $2.50 per gallon, are too high from the perspective of economic efficiency. Suppose that this is true, and that social welfare could be increased with slightly lower gas taxes. Present a welfare analysis graph of the gasoline market in Europe with a gas tax that is too high. Identify five areas in your graph: 1. Consumer surplus 2. Producer surplus 3. Externality damage 4. Tax revenues 5. The potential welfare gain if taxes were lowered to the "correct" level.
What is an externality? Please give an example of the negative externality. For the flu shot, how does the positive externality shift the marginal benefit curve (the demand curve)? We know that there will be a deadweight loss if consumers purchase the underlying good, which generates positive externality at the market price. Is there a deadweight loss in this case? Why or Why not?
