6. Climate change and externalities. How is the issue of climate change related to the concept of externalities? What is the externality? What are the relevant markets? b. Provide an example of a market that features this externality. Assuming there is no intervention to correct for the externality, compare the market allocation to the efficient allocation. Does the market produce too much? Too little? Is the market outcome efficient? а. c. What is the relationship between the marginal private cost of production in this market and the marginal social cost? Explain. d. Suppose you wanted to come up with an estimate of the magnitude of the marginal external cost (in dollars). What would this number represent? What sort of information would you need to determine this number?

1. The Ministry of Works and Supply has plans to construct a network on roads and tollgates in Vubwi District. Its permanent Secretary presents this plan to cabinet asking for approval and argues that although the project costs a lot of money at present, it will yield very significant benefits for the next 20 years. He presents the following summary of costs and revenues shown in Table 1.

4. Cost-benefit analysis A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing.s and Thus, the visual appearance would For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $2,040. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 420 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $12. The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $ Because the estimated benefit is than the cost, the college administrators undertake the beautification initiative. The calculation of the benefit of the beautification…

4. Understanding different policy options to correct for negativeexternalities Carbon dioxide emissions have been linked to melting of sea ice. The following table lists some potential regulations targeting the amount of airborne carbon dioxide. For each policy listed, identify whether it is a command-and-control policy (regulation), tradable permit system, corrective subsidy, or corrective tax. Tradable Permit System Public Policy The government limits total carbon-dioxide emissions by all factories to 260,000 tons per five years. Each individual factory is given the right to emit 230 tons of carbon dioxide, and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen, so the government funds a tree-planting initiative by offering $440 to any citizen who plants a tree. The government orders every factory to adopt a new technology, which reduces carbon-dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The government charges…
3. many areas of the country, aquifers (pools of underground water) serve as the primary water source. Water is extracted from the aquifer using wells and is replenished by rain and rivers. In many places the water is being extracted from the aquifers faster than it is being replenished, causing wells to run dry and farmers to have insufficient water for their crops. To address this, farmers in Kansas have all mutually agreed to reduce their usage of water. After reaching this agreement, each farmer must decide whether to follow the agreement. Assume that if everyone chooses a low level of production, all farmers will have enough water for the entire season. If a farmer chooses a high level of production, they will have more crops to sell but it will reduce the water available (and therefore the crop quality) for all farmers. Specifically, the farmers are faced with the decision shown in the images. a. If the game is played only one time, characterize each farmer’s best strategy.b.…
