4 This is a graph reprinted from Section 12.1 the Economics of Pollution. Please explain the graph with particular attention paid to why there are two supply curves. How can a government use this graph to establish pollution controls?
Demand BA Quantity Refer to Externality graph above. Point A is the current equilibrium level of output of this product and point B is the socially optimal level of output for the society. S is the supply curve that includes private costs. St is the supply curve that includes public costs. The graph indicates that there is (arc): O a. positive externalities from product production. O b. spillover costs from the production of this product. Oc. spillover benefits to the production of this product. O d. an underallocation of resources to product production. Price %24
3. Some have argued that diversity in communities and schools leads to positive externalities. What implications does this view have for the efficiency of a Tiebout equilibrium? What implications does it have for government policy?
5. The marginal benefits (MB) and marginal damage costs (MD) for daily particulate air pollution in East St. Louis, Illinois are given in the following figure: $ per pound per day 2 MB MD 1 Pounds 1,000 2,000 per day a. What is the efficient level of pollution in pounds per day? Explain. b. If East St. Louis imposes an absolute ban on particulate pollution, how large would be the deadweight loss? (Be quantitative.) c. If instead of an absolute ban, the city levels a Pigouvian tax on polluters, how large should it be per pound per day to achieve efficiency? What will be the total revenues to the government? What will be the gain or loss to residents compared to the absolute ban? What will be the after tax gain or loss to polluters compared to the absolute ban? d. If instead of an absolute ban, the right to be free of pollution is given to the residents and they are allowed to bargain with the polluters, what level of pollution will Coase expect to be bargained between polluters and…
