Consider agent A with (inverse) demand curve for the public good and agent B with inverse demand , where prices are measured in £ per unit. The marginal cost of producing the public good is £10 per unit. What is the Pareto efficient level of the public good? Explain. Illustrate in a graph. [Hint: Compute the marginal social benefit of the public good by adding up the demand curves vertically, over the p’s - image attached that has the inverse demand function
Provide a reason why the marginal damages from some emissions may be increasing with the level of emissions (like in the figure above). Suppose the unregulated level of emissions is E3. What area(s) represent the total damages from unregulated emissions? Suppose emissions levels drop from E3 to E1. What area(s) represent the total benefits from the emissions reduction from E3 to E1? What point denotes the marginal damage from emissions at E2?

Assume the aggregate demand and supply of a good are given by: Qd(p)=16−p & Qs(p)=3p−4 a.) Where p equals the price of the good. If there are no taxes imposed on the consumption or production of the good, what will be the competitive equilibrium quantity?

Externalities - Definition and examples 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.
Consider a situation where Ron (R) and Nancy (N) have demands for a private good that can be represented by the following functions: D_R: Q_R = 18 - 3P_R D_N: Q_N = 11 - 2P_N If Ron and Nancy are the only two consumers of this private good and the supply function for the good is: S: Q = -1 + P What is the aggregate quantity of the good they buy?
Consider a two- period dynamic resource allocation problem where the efficient resource allocation implies a market price of $6 in the first period (i. e., P1 = 6). Assuming that the constant marginal extraction cost in both periods is $3 and that the social discount rate is 10% (i.e., r = 0.10), the socially efficient undiscounted market price in the second period (P2) must be (Hint: use the efficiency condition.)
