Review Exercise on Market Equilibrium, Market Failure, Externalities and Elasticities
1.
Economics of Education. The issue of education is quite critical. The demand for education by society is high.
On the other hand, it is demanded that the schools only charge low tuition fees since schools serve a social
function. Thus, more often than not, tuition fee ceilings are imposed to assure students of lower prices for this
"commodity". Two common solutions are proposed to address the likely problem of excess demand for
educational services (ES) in the event of a tuition fee ceiling is imposition: (i) operation of public schools (e.g.,
free public high school); (ii) government subsidy to private education.
where:
Find the solutions to the problems below:
D=demand for educational services
S = supply of educational services
Suppose we let:
S: TF or P = 1 + 0.5 Q
D: TF or P = 15-2Q
TF or P = tuition fee or price of education ('000 pesos)…
From the book: Omnivore's Dilemma, chapters 9-12 for a discussion board
A)
In an economic transaction between a producer and a consumer, an externalized cost or (negative) externality is a cost to someone who is not involved in the transaction. For example, the consumer doesn't pay for it, and the producer doesn't pay for it. Joel Salatin alludes to this concept when he talks about food that is not “honest.”
List three externalized costs associated with food production (and consumption), and try to identify the third part(ies) likely to pay for each. Which cost on your list concerns you the most?

An economist reasons as follows: "Time spent at home taking care of a child is time not spent earning income, so the opportunity cost of having a child includes the potential wage earnings women give up by parenting." Assuming we agreed with this, and that women enjoy children (and/or invest in them to be taken care of in retirement), we would conclude that, all else equal: b) a) in societies were wages for women's work is low, women are likely to choose to have more babies. in societies were wages for women's work is low, women are likely to choose to have fewer babies. women have too many children in poor countries economists cannot make any predictions about the determinants of population growth. c) d) 26.
