Answer the following for the given example (for a perfectly competitive market): Your neighbours holding a physical gathering during the pandemic (a) Does an externality exist? If so, is it positive/negative (or both) (b) Use Coase’s framework to identify the cause of the externality (c) If an externality exists, determine whether the Coase theorem applies (i.e. is it possible/feasible to assign property rights and solve the problem?). Provide reasoning. (d) If an externality exists and the Coase theorem does not apply, discuss a government/institutional solution that can mitigate the problem of externality. Provide reasoning.
The market for smart phone applications is characterized by the following demand and supply curves. QD = D(P) = 15 - 3P QS = S(P) = 5 + 10P (a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity for this market. (b) The government is considering introducing a per unit subsidy of t on each electric car that is purchased. Suppose that the statutory incidence of this subsidy will be on buyers. Using the equilibrium conditions, D(Pn - t) = S(Pn) = Q* (i.e. that demand equals supply in equilibrium), derive an equation in terms of es and ed that describes what fraction of the subsidy is borne by buyers/consumers. (c) Suppose that the unit tax is set at t = 0.1 per unit. What is the excess burden of this tax per dollar of revenue raised? (d) Suppose that we incorrectly assumed that supply was perfectly elastic and there was no impact of the tax on the equilibrium price received by sellers. Would EB/Tax Revenue be higher or lower than what you calculated in part (c)? In 4 sentences, explain your…
QUESTION 8 In the above figure, the competitive (i.e. unregulated) market equilibrium quantity is? (Note #1: the x- axis is in thousands, so make sure to write out the entire number, i. e. 10 thousand as "10000") (Note #2: marginal benefit curve (MB) also represents demand)uppose the market demand for a good takes the form: Q subscript D equals 120 minus 1 fourth P and market supply takes the form: Q subscript S equals negative 30 plus 1 half P and production of each unit causes $30 in (external) damage. What is total surplus in this market? (Note: with external damages the overall benefit from a market is often referred to as "social welfare" instead of total surplus. Regardless, to answer this question subtract total external damages from consumer and producer surplus) QUESTION 8 40 40 S-MSC Price (dollars per vaccination) 20 20 30 30 50 60 10 10 MSB MB 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Quantity (thousands of vaccinations per year) In the above figure, the competitive (i.e. unregulated) market…
consider a market for two differentiated products. demand for good 1 is d1 = 1 - p1 + 1/4p2 and demand for second is d2 = 1-p2 + 1/4p1 where p1 and p2 are prices of the goods. Suppose firm 1 produces good 1 and firm 2 produces good 2. All production costs are sunk, that is, firms supply at zero production cost. Assume that firms compete in prices. (a) Calculate the diversion ratio. b) Derive the reaction function of each firm and calculate the Nash equilibrium in prices.

A market has a demand function given by theequation Qd = 180 - 2P, and a supply function isgiven by the equation Qs = -15 + P. The marketis government-regulated, with price support per unit and production quotas. (NOTE: A production quota restricts the quantity of the good that can be produced. Firms are not allowed to produce more than the quota)(a) If the price is $72 per unit, what production quota is needed to ensure no shortages or surpluses? (HINT: Sketch the supply and demand equations.)(b) Considering the price support and the quota, calculate(i) the consumer surplus,(in) the producer surplus,(In) deadweight loss,Due to good weather, there is an increase in the demand for the good. The new demand equationis Qd = 190 - 2P. The government is trying todecide between two options:• Maintain the number of quotas and let the market adjust, or• Maintain price support and increase the number of quotas.Crinnamathemarinenidanidan maintain Suppose the government decides to maintain the…
