- Consider the following decision by two countries: a small country (C1) and a large country (C2). When both countries cooprate and agree to an environmental agreement, C1 receives 4 and C2 receives 5 units of benefit. When they do not cooperae, they incur costs of -1, and -2, respectively. The payoffs associated with other outcomes are described in the table below. Large country (C2) Agree to environmental protection (cooperate) Do not agree to environmental protection (do not cooperate) The Socially Optiomal outcome is The Nash Equilibrium is Agree to environmental protection (cooperate) C1:4 C2: 5 C1: 2 C2: 6 [Choose ] Small country (C1) [Choose ] Do not agree to environmental protection (do not cooperate) C1:2 C2: -3 C1: -1 C2: -2Save The market price of insecticide is initially $10 per unit. To address a negative externality in this market, the government decides to charge producers of insecticide for the privilege of polluting during the production K process. A fee that fully takes into account the social costs of pollution is determined, and once it is put into effect, the market supply curve for insecticide shifts upward by $8 per unit. The market price of insecticide also increases, to $12 per unit. What fee is the government charging insecticide manufacturers? $ (Enter a numeric response using an integer.)In a hypothetical country, the government introduces a new policy aimed at combating global warming. As part of this policy, they impose a carbon tax of $20 per ton of CO2 emissions on industries. Prior to the tax, the country's industrial sector emits 800,000 tons of CO2 annually. After the implementation of the tax, the industrial sector reduces its emissions to 600,000 tons of CO2 annually. Calculate the following: The reduction in CO2 emissions as a result of the carbon tax. The total revenue collected by the government from the carbon tax. If the government uses all the revenue collected from the carbon tax to subsidize renewable energy projects, and each project receives $25,000, how many projects can be funded with the total revenue? (Note: Assume no other external factors influencing CO2 emissions, and all calculations are based on the data provided.)
- Assume a market basket consisting of gasoline (10 gallons), milk (3 gallons), ground beef (6 pounds), and men’s underwear (1 pack). While it may seem strange, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspace often monitored sales of men’s underwear as a broader indicator of economic health. Calculate the cost of the market basket given current prices for gasoline ($3.25/gal), milk ($4.10/gal), ground beef ($3.59/pound), and men’s underwear ($9.49/pack). The cost of the market basket one year ago was $71.16. Calculate the year-over-year inflation rate.A pandemic is gaining strength in the United Republic. Health experts advise the citizens to behave in a way that reduces the risk of conta- gion. For simplicity, suppose that each citizen chooses between heeding the advice (playing the p strategy) or ignoring the advice (playing the s strategy). The restrictions involved in heeding the advice and playing p come at a private cost to the citizen; all citizens benefit from curtailing the pandemic, that is, from having many people playing p). To be specific, the payoffs are given by p(x) 1+ 2x s(x) 2+ 2x where a is the fraction of citizens that heed the advice and play p (0 < x< 1). (a) Draw a diagram illustrating the payoffs from playing p (heeding the health advice) and s (ignoring the advice) as functions of x. (b) Describe all of the possible equilibria in this 'pandemic game' and calculate the payoffs at the equilibrium (equilibria). Which of these equilibria is (are) most likely to obtain in this game? Explain your answer. (c)…Back to Assignment Attempts Keep the Highest / 3 7. Correcting for negative externalities - Taxes versus tradable permits Paper factories emit chemicals as a waste product. This generates a cost to society that is not paid for by the firm; therefore, pollution is a negative externality of paper production. Suppose the U.S. government wants to correct this market failure by getting firms to internalize the cost of pollution. To do this, the government can charge firms for pollution rights (the right to emit a given quantity of chemicals). The following graph shows the daily demand for pollution rights. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. Graph Input Tool (?

- Q.3 The following equation describes the median housing price in a community in terms of amount of pollution (nox for nitrous oxide) and the average number of rooms in houses in the community (rooms): i) II) E log(price) = Po + B₁.log(nox) + f₂.room + u What are the probable signs of B₁and B₂? What are the interpretation of B₁and B₂? Explain. Why might nox [or more precisely, log(nox)] and rooms be negatively correlated? If this is the case, does the simple regression of log(price) on log(nox) produce an upward or a downward biased estimator of B₁? Using the data in HPRICE2 the following equations were estimated: log(price) = 8.5 0.98 * log(nox) + u, n = 1500, R² = 0.30 log(price) = 6.4 - 0.56 * log(nox) + 0.34 * room +u, n = 1500, R² = 0.54 Is the relationship between the simple and multiple regression estimates of the elasticity of price with respect to nox what you would have predicted, given your answer in part (ii)? Does this mean that -0.56 is definitely closer to the true…Newsom has committed the state to a $990-million agreement with a China-based electric car company to produce 200 million protective masks. If you were an economics professor, what grade would you give Governor Newsom on his mask deal. Was the decision to pay high prices for PPE in the immediate aftermath of the onset of the virus a good financial decision? Is the evidence consistent with Newsom being corrupt and/or ignorant of basic economic theory?Suppose the government aims to abate 20 tons of pollution from two firms. Firm 1's abatement cost function is MAC1 = A1, firm 2's abatement function is MAC2 = 4A2, where A1 and A2 represent the amount of abatement conducted by firm 1 and firm 2 individually. How many tons should firm 1 and firm 2 abate to minimize total abatement cost? Blank #1: Firm 1's amount of abatement Blank #2 : Firm 2's amount of abatement
- clean water is a public benefit since it is impossible to exclude anyone from drinking it, and drinking water by one person does not affect the amount of water available for others to consume. In this situation, market failure occurs because the private market cannot deliver clean water efficiently. This is because private enterprises would be unable to charge for clean water. After all, everyone could drink it even if they did not pay for it. As a result, private enterprises would have little need to invest in supplying safe drinking water. By monopolizing the clean water market, the government can efficiently provide it. The government can charge for clean water as a monopolist, utilizing the revenue to offset costs. Suggest a relevant government policy that would yield efficient outcome. using 30 words carefully explain the process through which the implementation of the government policy will yield to optimal outcome.Which of the following techniques is used by economists to value years of life saved by a highway safety program? Either measuring the increased income that it allows or trying to get those affected by the improved safety to reveal their willingness to pay for the reduced risk of death Trying to get those affected by the improved safety to reveal their willingness to pay for the reduced risk of death none of the other answers is correct, because economists believe that it is impossible to put a value on life Measuring the increased income that it allowsonomics 1A Final OSA-1.pdf X + file:///C:/Users/Mpanza/Downloads/Economics 1A Final OSA-1.pdf Question 20 "It's hard for many of us to imagine a world without instant, limitless internet access.
