Question
Chapter 14, Problem 1QP
To determine
Define network externality and explain how it differs from typical externality.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Network externality refers to goods that exhibit network externalities, which signify the fact that the goods have got a wide usage and more number of people using it because of its various advantages.
The major difference in between network externality and typical externality is in network externality; the benefits are for all users, but it cannot say that the typical externality creates benefit for all. The reason is that receiving benefit depends upon the action of the third party.
Economics Concept Introduction
Externality: Externality is the spillover of benefits or cost to the third party other than the immediate market participants.

- Using data from 1988 for houses sold in Andover, Massachusetts, from Kiel and McClain (1995), the following equation relates housing price (price) to the distance from a recently built garbage incinerator (dist): = log(price) 9.40 + 0.312 log(dist) n = 135, R2 = 0.162. Interpretation of the slope coefficient? ► How would our interpretation of the slope coefficient change if distance were measured in metres instead of kilometres?arrow_forwardIf GDP goes up by 1% and the investment component of GDPgoes up by more than 1%, how is the investment share ofGDP changing in absolute terms?▶ In economics, what else is expressed as relative percentagechanges?arrow_forwardCEO Salary and Firm SalesWe can estimate a constant elasticity model relating CEO salary to firm sales. The data set is the same one used in Example 2.3, except we now relate salary to sales. Let sales be annual firm sales, measured in millions of dollars. A constant elasticity model is[2.45]ßßlog (salary) = ß0 + ß0log (sales) + u,where ß1 is the elasticity of salary with respect to sales. This model falls under the simple regression model by defining the dependent variable to be y = log(salary) and the independent variable to be x = log1sales2. Estimating this equation by OLS gives[2.46]log (salary)^=4.822 + 0.257 (sales) n = 209, R2 = 0.211.The coefficient of log(sales) is the estimated elasticity of salary with respect to sales. It implies that a 1% increase in firm sales increases CEO salary by about 0.257%—the usual interpretation of an elasticity.arrow_forward
