The accompanying diagram shows the supply and demand diagrams
for the competitive market for honey in one region. MC represents
private marginal cost and MB represents private marginal benefit.
Assume there are two types of firms in this region-beekeepers that
produce honey and orchard keepers that produce peaches. The bees
provide a benefit to the orchard keepers by pollinating their peach
trees.
If the external marginal benefit is $2 per unit of honey, then what is the
allocatively efficient output?

94 Problem 1
Draw a supply and demand graph and
identify the areas of consumer surplus and
producer surplus. Given the demand curve,
how will an increase in supply affect the
amount of surplus shown in your diagram ?
Explain. LO4.1 (Differentiate between
demand-side market failures and supply-side
market failures.

Use Figure 16.2b to explain why this situation of dual positive externalities might lead to an underallocation of resources to apple growing and to beekeeping. How might this underallocation get resolved via the means suggested by the Coase theorem?arrow_forward

- Assume citizens of Destrahan are complaining that Shell Chemical and Dow Chemical are polluting the environment. Currently, each firm emits 40 tons of pollution per year. Shell Chemical could reduce its pollution at a cost of $500 per ton, and Dow Chemical could reduce its pollution at a cost of $100 per ton. To reduce overall pollution to 40 units, the mayor gives each firm 20 tradable pollution permits. Each permit allows a firm to emit one ton of pollution.

Correcting for negative externalities - Taxes versus tradablepermits Nuclear facilities emit radioactive waste 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 electricity 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 radioactive waste). The following graph shows the daily demand for pollution rights.
