Private solutions to correct for externalities Consider the following scenario: Suppose that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes released by its chickens. These wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become thick with algae and polluted by the minerals in the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization collects enough donations to fund a campaign to stop the farm's pollution. Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of pollution has occurred in this case? O Charities O Integration of different types of businesses through merger or acquisition O Moral codes and social sanctions O Contracts It's important to note that sometimes private solutions to externalities do not work.

The figure below shows the market for a chemical, of which the production causes certain negative externalities in the form of pollution. Define MCP = marginal private cost, MCS = marginal social cost, D = market demand, P = price, and Q = quantity. 4 10 (a) (b) (c) (d) 100 P MC, ML D If the market is competitive, what is the equilibrium price and quantity? Is this equilibrium outcome socially optimal? In terms of the areas denoted by A, B, and C, what is the deadweight loss to society if the market is competitive? What can the government do to achieve the socially optimal level of pollution?
How does government encourage positive externalities in the economy?

Vork (Ch 10) 2. Efficiency in the presence of externalities Cars impose 'many external costs on society: exhaust emissions that contribute to air pollution, congestion on roadways, and so on. Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of cars is not equal to the socially optimal quantity. The following graph shows the demand for cars (their private value), the supply of cars (the private cost of producing them), and the social cost of cars, including both the private cost and external costs. 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. Social Cost Market Equilibrium Supply (Private Cost) Socially Optimal Level Demand (Private Value) QUANTITY OF CARS PRICE OF CARS
Please draw and upload an externality graph for the "Truck Tire" market in the US. Use the data provided to draw each axis, plot the points and create the following curves: 1) Demand, 2) Supply (private), and 3) Supply (social), Also mark equilibrium on both S (private)and S (social). After you draw the curve, explain it and describe how government can use it to regulate this tire market. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied (Private) Quantity Supplied (Social) $ 300 $10 million $ 35 million $ 30 million $ 250 $15 million $30 million $25 million $ 200 $20 million $25 million $20 million $150 $25 million $20 million $15 million $ 100 30 million 15 million 10 million

two types of consumers( workers an retirees) share a community with a polluting cheese factory. the polution is nonrival and nonexcludable. the total damage to workers is p2 where p is the amount of pollution and the total damage to retirees is 3p2 . thus marginal damage to workers is 2p and marginal damage to retirees is 6p. according to an anlaysis by consulting engineers, the cheese factory saves 20p-p2 by pollluting p, for a marginal savings of 20-2p. a.Find the aggregate(including both types of sonsumers) marginal damage for the public bad. b..graph the marginal savings and aggregate marginal damage curves with pollution on the horizontal axis. c. how much will the cheese factory pollute in the abscence of any regulation or bargaining? what is the societys optimal level of pollution? d. starting from the uncontrolled level of pollution calculated in part(c), find the marginal willingness to pay for pollution abatment, A, for each consumer class. (abatment is the reduction in…
