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.

- 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.The demand curve for a public park for two consumers who represent society is given by: P = 150 - QD1, P = 250 - QD2 Graph the two demand curves and show the marginal social benefit curve for this public park. If the marginal cost of providing the park was €240, what would the optimum provision of this park be? Explain why any quantity above or below this amount would represent a less than efficient allocation.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.

- 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 adverse, 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 refiect 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. -O- Supply Demand Supply Demand QUANTITY (Unts) With this type of externality, in the absence of government intervention, the market…Public wifi hotspots grant many external benefits on society: more equitable access to the internet, increased educational opportunities, and so on.

- Use the graph attached below as a starting point (either download it or print it out). Add curves, labels, etc. to this graph in order to show the following: 1. Show that this good has a $4/unit negative externality (external cost), such as pollution. 2. Shade the area that represents the Deadweight Loss (lost gains from trade) caused by the external cost. 3. Show a tax or subsidy wedge (whichever you think is appropriate) that will solve the problem of the external cost. 4. Show the socially optimal level of production that the Pigouvian tax or subsidy above will help the market to achieve. You may use software or pencil and paper to complete this graph. Upload it here when you are done.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-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 b-Add their demand curves together c-Multiply the two demand curves together d-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 goodTo produce honey, beekeepers place hives of bees in the fields of farmers. As bees gather nectar, they pollinate the crops in the fields, increasing the yields of these fields at no additional cost to the farmer. a) Is this an externality in consumption or production? b) Is this a negative or positive externality? c) If this externality is not internalized, would beekeepers produce more or less bees than socially optimal? Why? d) Suggest a market-based solution that would internalize the externality. In your answer, give reference to the social cost and social value curves. e) What might be a reasonable private solution to this externality and how might the solution be reached?
- A small town provides a fireworks display, which is a public good, every fourth of July. For simplicity, assume the town only has two residents: Hayden and Madison. Their demands for the fireworks display are illustrated in the figure to the right. Construct the market demand curve for this public good. 8.00 7.50- 7.00- 6.50- 6.00- 5.50- 5.00- 4.50- Use the line drawing tool to draw the market demand curve (DMarket) for the fireworks display.

Assume that the medical vaccine generates a positive externality in consumption within the society. (a) Draw a properly labeled graph for a competitive market providing this medical vaccine and show each of the following. (i) The market equilibrium quantity, labeled QC (ii) The socially optimal quantity, labeled QS (iii) The area of the deadweight loss, shaded completely (b) Identify one policy action that would lead to the production of the socially optimal quantity of the vaccine. (c) Would a binding price ceiling result in the production of the socially optimal quantity of the vaccine? Explain.Consider the market for plastic straws, in which production causes pollution (air pollution, waste pollution). Quantity demanded is given by Qd=6200-4*P Marginal Private Costs (determines individual supply costs of producers) is given by Qs=2*MPC-1000. Marginal Social Costs (MPC plus the costs of externalities) is given by Qs=2*MPC-1300. Plot these 3 curves on a graph with 6 points at Q=1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500 What is the deadweight loss if only free market forces are at play (i.e. externalities are not considered by the producers)?
