Use the graph attached below as a starting point (either download it or print it out). Add curves, labels, etc. to this graph in order to show the following:
1. Show that this good has a $4/unit negative externality (external cost), such as pollution.
2. Shade the area that represents the Deadweight Loss (lost gains from trade) caused by the external cost.
3. Show a tax or subsidy wedge (whichever you think is appropriate) that will solve the problem of the external cost.
4. Show the socially optimal level of production that the Pigouvian tax or subsidy above will help the market to achieve.

- Parks confer many external benefits on society: open space, trees that reduce pollution, and so on. Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of parks is not equal to the socially optimal quantity. The following graph shows the demand for parks (their private value), the supply of parks (the private cost of producing them), and the social value of parks, including both the private value and external benefits. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the market equilibrium quantity. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the socially optimal quantity.arrow_forwardCongestion pricing aims to reduce: A) Ticket prices B) Vehicle emissions C) Traffic congestion D) Transport subsidiesarrow_forwardWhich of the following is most likely to be the best method of reducing the usage of personal cars by the public? a) Decrease of road taxes and fines. b) Building more road and infrastructures. c) Increasing the speed limit on the highways. d) Increasing the parking fees and other service charges.arrow_forward
- An externality arises when a firm or person engages in an activity that affects the wellbeing of a third party, yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effect. If the impact on the third party is beneficial, it is called a externality. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for a good with this type of externality. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the market equilibrium price and quantity for this good. Adjust one or both of the curves to reflect the presence of the externality. If the social cost of producing the good is not equal to the private cost, then you should drag the supply curve to reflect the social costs of producing the good; similarly, if the social value of producing the good is not equal to the private value, then you should drag the demand curve to reflect the social value of consuming the good.
