Choose one answer from list below. o Asymmetric information o Public good o Tragedy of commons o Positive externality o Adverse selection o Negative externality3. The effect of negative externalities on the optimal quantity of consumption Consider the market for steel. Suppose that a steel manufacturing plant dumps toxic waste into a nearby river, creating a negative externality for those living downstream from the plant. Producing an additional ton of steel imposes a constant marginal external cost (MEC) of $165 per ton. The following graph shows the demand (marginal private benefits, or MPB) curve and the supply (marginal private costs, or MPC) curve for steel. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the marginal social costs (MSC) curve when the marginal external cost is $165 per ton.

- 5. Correcting for negative externalities - Regulation versus tradable permits Imagine the government wants to reduce the total pollution emitted by three local firms. Currently, each firm is creating 4 units of pollution in the area, for a total of 12 pollution units. If the government wants to reduce total pollution in the area to 6 units, it can choose between the following two methods: Available Methods to Reduce Pollution 1. The government sets pollution standards using regulation. 2. The government allocates tradable pollution permits. Each firm faces different costs, so reducing pollution is more difficult for some firms than others. The following table shows the cost each firm faces to eliminate each unit of pollution. For each firm, assume that the cost of reducing pollution to zero (that is, eliminating all 4 units of pollution) is prohibitively expensive. Firm Firm X Firm Y Firm Z Method 1: Regulation Now, imagine that two government employees proposed alternative plans for…7.4.
