Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge beer producers a tax. Before the tax, 20 million cases of beer were sold every month at a price of $4 per case. After the tax, 13 million cases of beer are sold every month; consumers pay $7 per case, and producers receive $2 per case (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a case of beer is per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is per case, and the burden that falls on producers is per case. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on consumers. True False
Consider an exchange economy with two types of agents, A and B, and two goods, x and y. Preferences are given by UA (XA, YA) = = A + 6 ln(y₁) and UB(TB, YB) = ln(TBYB). Suppose the government wants to reach the goal of XB = 5 with the competitive equilibrium by setting a redistribution r such that w₁ = (10,r) and wB = (0,20 - r). 1. Find r reaches the government's goal. Round your answer to 2 decimal points. Let Py = Answer:
A local government is considering building new public hiking trails in town.Suppose that the trails are public goods. There are two types of people in a smalltown economy, 1000 avid hikers and 1000 non-hikers, who have typical individualmarginal benefit curves: MB_H = 350 − 5Q and MB_N = 240 − 6Q for the hikersand the non-hikers respectively, where Q is the miles of trails. On the same graph,draw the marginal benefit curves for each type of person and MB of the overalleconomy. If the marginal cost providing this public good is $27000 per mile whatis the optimal level of the public good?
A new policy is expected to generate £5,000 of benefits and £3,000 of costs. In terms of the effect on social welfare, this change can best be described as: equitable. inefficient. fair. a potential Pareto improvement. Pareto efficient. O O O O O
According to the Ramsey taxation result, which of the following markets would be the most efficient to tax? Pizza Caviar Ice cream Rice
Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to liver failure as well as deterioration of other organs. Suppose the government has opened several public clinics dedicated to helping alcoholics reduce their alcohol consumption. Now the government is trying to decide how to fund these clinics. One suggestion is to raise the funds for the public clinics with liquor tax. This tax follows: The ability to pay principal The benefits received principle Neither the ability to pay nor the benefits received principle.
The most general form of a social welfare function (SWF ) can be written as W = W(U1; ... ; UH). a. Explain the following properties that a SWF may satisfy: non paternalism, Pareto principle, anonymity (the names of the agents do not matter), and concavity (aversion to inequality). b. Consider two agents h = 1; 2 with utilities U1 and U2. Depict the social indifference curve of the utilitarian SWF in (U1; U2)-space. Which of the properties in part a does it satisfy? c. Depict the social indifference curves of the maxim in or Rawlins SWF. Contrast to the utilitarian SWF with respect to the aversion to inequality. Which properties does the Rawlins SWF satisfy? d. The Bernoulli-Nash social welfare function is given by the product of individual utilities. Discuss the distributional properties of the Bernoulli-Nash SWF.
Suppose the teacher for your course, "Principles of Economics" is a libertarian and adheres strictly by its principles in running your economics class. What policies would you expect your teacher to institute? Policies a Libertarian Would Enforce Policies a Libertarian Would Not Enforce The teacher, seeing grade inequality, decides to give points from the best student's test to the worst's students test. The teacher decides to give everyone in the class an A. The teacher punishing a student for cheating on her income equality and poverty homework assignment. Grade the class on a curve to ensure even grade distribution. When proctoring a test, your teacher requires all students to be given the test face down and all turn over your tests at the same time so that no one has a time advantage.
