Shin likes to spend a (relatively small)
portion of his income on vacations to Cabo
San Lucas (a popular resort area in Mexico).
On these trips, he either stays at a four-star
resort with panoramic ocean views or a
more modest, and slightly deteriorating
hotel in the noisy part of town.
Understandably, the four-star hotel is
significantly more expensive. Suppose that
the four-star hotel costs $5000/trip while
the hotel costs just $500/trip. In recent
years, the price of airfare has risen
significantly, a change that affects the cost
of his trips the same regardless of where he
stays. Suppose that airfare has increased
from $300/trip to $1000/trip. Why is it that
following the higher travel prices, Shin is
likely to spend more of his vacations at the
four-star resort when he travels? (Assume
that the hotel rates and Shin's preferences
are fixed).

- Sandra and Mary live next to each other. Sandra has a dog that she walks every day. Sandra has to walk past Mary's front lawn and her dog always pees on Mary's flowers, which causes them to eventually die. Mary will move in a few months but, until then, she estimates she will spend $100 on flowers to replace the ones that die as a result of the daily visits from Sandra's dog. The only solution to this problem is a $50 fence that can be put around Mary's flowers that will protect them from Sandra's dog. a. What term do economists use for the consequences of Sandra's daily walks in this setting? b. Is it socially optimal to have the fence put around the flowers in this case? Why or why not? c. What does the Coase theorem say about how the social optimum could be achieved? Explain what an agreement between Sandra and Mary would look like if Mary has the right to not be bothered by her neighbour's dog.arrow_forwardA competitive industry has production processes that generate pollution. okay with studies carried out on the affected population, the marginal costs associated with contamination are constant and 500 u.m. for each unit of the good produced. These costs are associated with lost working days, illness treatment costs and the nuisance generated in the population. Currently the production level of the industry is 250 units and the market price is 1500 (um/unit). Market studies carried out by the firms estimate that if the price rises at 1,800 (mu/unit) the quantity demanded would drop to 200 units and the marginal cost of production of each firm at this new production level is 1,300 (m.u./unit). assume linearity in market demand and in the marginal costs of production of the firms.
