In a market with a negative externality, like houses being painted with lead paint, the quantity produced in the market in a competitive will be than the quantity that maximizes total surplus. higher lower the same as
The market for good Q is perfectly competitive. However, it features positive externalities. Consumers' marginal private benefit is MB = 100-Q Producers' marginal cost is MC = Q. The consumption of this good generates a marginal external benefit MEB=2. a) In the equilibrium of this market, the perfect competition quantity is Qpc= b) The socially efficient quantity is Qsoc= c) To achieve efficiency, the government can introduce a
The table below shows the quantities of gas demanded and supplied at different prices in a city where a tax of $0.50 per gallon is collected from sellers of gas. The marginal external cost of gas is constant at $1 per gallon. Price (S/gallon) Quantity (million gallons) Demanded Supplied 2.00 24 16 2.50 20 20 3.00 16 24 3.50 12 28 Question 10 Homework Answered Fill in the Blanks Type your answers in all of the blanks and submit In the scenario above, the marginal benefit received by gas consumers is $ the gas producers 2.50 marginal private cost (including the tax) is $ 2.50 the marginal social cost is $3 and the deadweight loss is $ million.
Draw figures similar to the provided figure (i.e. producer curves in a perfectly competitive market including marginal social cost, marginal private cost, price) and show the deadweight losses associated with a) positive externalities b) negative externalities NOTE: take line p = 260 as the marginal benefit curve
Can you explain this for me? I got this wrong.
Suppose the production of widgets causes a negative externality of $12 per unit. The current market price is $20 and market quantity is 35 units. What should be the correct Pigovian tax to correct the negative externality?
Consider consumption involving a negative externality. Which of the following is wrong? Group of answer choices A) A tax on consumption may decrease the deadweight loss B) A tax on producers could increase the quantity traded to the socially optimal level C) A price floor could bring the quantity traded to the socially optimal level D) A tax on consumption reduces the quantity traded in the market E) None of the above
The production of fabric generates toxic effluents related to the dyes used. This is typically disposed of with wastewater, which generates pollution. If the government does not intervene, the market for fabric has an equilibrium price of $250 per roll and an equilibrium quantity of 10,000 rolls. a.How would the socially optimal quantity of fabric compare to the free market equilibrium quantity of 10,000 rolls? Why? b. Using a supply and demand graph show the effect on social welfare of allowing the market for fabric to operate without government intervention. Label all the curves and relevant points on your graph. c. Would a government subsidy or tax help the market achieve the social optimum? Explain. Show the necessary subsidy/tax on your graph. d. Explain how this intervention helps achieve the social optimum and what information would be necessary to implement it.
When equilibrium output in a competitive market is at the socially efficient level: a) only market values are incorporated into marginal benefits to consumers and marginal costs of production. b) net social value is as large as possible. c) the marginal benefit to consumers may exceed or be less than the marginal cost of production. d) total willingness to pay is as large as possible.
Question 10 Each of the following is true of a positive externality except Internalizing the externality causes the demand curve to shift up and to the right. The socially optimal price is lower than the equilibrium price. The quantity after a corrective subsidy is greater than the existing market equilibrium quantity. The quantity after a corrective subsidy is less than the existing market equilibrium quantity.
