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. Properly label this line. 4.00- DMadison DHayden 3.50- Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. 3.00- 2.50- P 2.00- 1.50- 1.00- 0.50- 0.00- 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Quantity (number of fireworks) Price (dollars per firework)
Problem 05-01 (algo) On the basis of the three Individual demand schedules in the following table, and assuming these are the only three people in the society, determine a. the market demand schedule on the assumption that the good is a private good and b. the collective demand schedule on the assumption that the good is a public good.

B. Let’s consider the market for flour in a different town. Assume that it is efficient (i.e. that there are not external costs to producing flour, and no external benefits from consuming it). Price ($/lb) Quantity Supplied (thousands of lbs per day) Quantity Demanded (thousands of lbs per day) 1.5 8 14 2 9 13 2.5 10 12 3 11 11 3.5 12 10 4 13 9 What is the price and quantity of flour sold without government intervention. Graph this equilibrium. XXXX 2. Suppose that, alarmed by the inability of many poorer consumers to buy flour, the government institutes a $2/lb price ceiling. How much flour will suppliers wish to sell, and how much will buyers demand? How much flour will actually be sold? Show this outcome on the same graph you drew for question 1. XXXX 3. Describe, in one sentence each, three problems that this policy might create? Please do not simply copy down phrases from the textbook, but instead describe ways that…
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.
2. Last year, nearly 200 countries agreed on a plan to limit greenhouse gas emissions, in an effort to limit climate change. One of the challenges in creating such a plan is that climate change is a global phenomenon, depending on total emissions from all countries. Which of the following best describes the benefits of a plan that reduces global warming? a. It's a common pool resource; countries will tend to contribute too much to global warming efforts b. It's a public good; countries will tend to contribute too much to global warming efforts C. It's a common pool resource; countries will tend to contribute too little to global warming efforts d. It's a public good; countries will tend to contribute too little to global warming efforts e. None of the above
3. Now reconsider the issue of soybeans from the perspective of Chinese consumers. Assume you are a Chinese consumer who drinks soymilk each day. Demonstrate using a graph how your consumption of soymilk differs from the socially optimal level. Is the price you pay for soymilk in current market conditions the correct amount, too high, or too low? Why? Ensure that you label your graph correctly (all curves, axes, price and quantities labeled). Show the deadweight loss of soymilk consumption, and what price should be charged for soymilk to move the amount of soymilk you drink to the optimal level.
We recognize four types of goods, namely; private goods, public goods, club goods, and shared resources. Roads are an example of a public good. When the congestion gets worse, will the roads remain public goods or turn into club goods or common goods? Explain
No more than 100 words for the answer: Explain briefly how property law can serve society’s interest in achieving an economically efficient allocation of resources, goods, and services.
What is an "open access resource"? Why do open access resources often exhibit what is known as the problem of the "tragedy of the commons"? What properties of efficient property rights are violated by an "open access resource"?
