Suppose the government is trying to determine how to deal with pesticide contamination of its water supply. It wants to undertake a benefit-cost analysis of two alternative policy options for controlling pesticides: Upgrade its municipal water treatment plant to remove the pesticides, or Banning the use of the offending pesticides in the metropolitan area. Assume that either techniques reduces pesticides to a level which does not adversely affect human health. The cost of these control options are as follows: Municipal treatment upgrades: Capital Costs = $9 million. The new plant is constructed over one year. It starts operating at the beginning of year two. Once the plant begins operation, it has operating costs of $1 million per year. Once constructed, the plant lasts for 5 years, then it must be replaced with a new plant. Pesticide Ban: Annual operating costs due to substitution of non-toxic methods of controlling “pests” = $4 million per year. These costs would last forever. The…

In January 2012, the Obama administration rejected the first proposal to build this pipeline, claiming that more time was needed to fully assess the various impacts this pipeline might have on the United States before a final decision could be made. A few months later, the TransCanada Corporation submitted a new proposal, detailing a revised plan for building the Keystone XL pipeline. In November 2015, the Obama administration formally rejected TransCanada's application for the Keystone XL pipeline. In announcing his decision, President Obama said that "shipping dirtier crude oil into our country would not increase America's energy security" and that approving this project would have undercut America's role as a global leader on combatting climate change. In January 2017, the Trump administration signed an executive order approving the project, but TransCanada may never complete the project because it may no longer be commercially viable due to lower energy costs and less demand for…

Suppose there is a public park. The annual cost of maintenance is $200,000. Visiting the park is free, and it is visited 210,000 times every year. However, to fund better maintenance of the park, the government wants to make visitors pay $4.70 per visit. Implementing a security system (to prevent visitors from sneaking into the park) will cost $0.50 per visit and $260,000 in annual fixed expenditures. At the same time, maintenance costs are expected to rise by 23%, not including security costs. The number of visits to the park is expected to fall by 34%

The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially affected the Canadian economy in several dimensions. As the Canadian governments, both federal and provincial, have issued various forms of "stay home" instructions, workers have to work from home. Working from home has two effects: firms are now less productive and hence the current TFP z declines; labor supply Ns (r) declines. In addition, consumers can only go grocery once a week and hence consumption demand Cd (r) declines for any level of interest rate and income. Answer the following questions. 1. Use a real business cycle model that we studied in Chapter 13 to analyze the impact of Covid-19 in terms of output, employment, consumption, investment, wage, interest rate, money demand, and price. Make sure you show three figures: A figure illustrating the goods market, a figure illustrating the labor market, and a figure illustrating the money market. (In this question we assume that the change in output supply dominates the change in output…
Newsom has committed the state to a $990-million agreement with a China-based electric car company to produce 200 million protective masks. If you were an economics professor, what grade would you give Governor Newsom on his mask deal. Was the decision to pay high prices for PPE in the immediate aftermath of the onset of the virus a good financial decision? Is the evidence consistent with Newsom being corrupt and/or ignorant of basic economic theory?
