7. Beverly owns a rabbit and receives a $600 benefit from owning it. Sometimes Beverly's rabbit makes its way onto the lawn of her neighbor, Charles, and eats the vegetables in Charles' garden. This intrusion by the rabbit costs Charles $400. a. Can both individuals become better off if Charles pays Beverly some amount of money to get rid of the rabbit? Explain. b. Now assume that the government changes the regulations on owning a domestic animal and if anyone can force neighbors to give up their animals. (this is the case for some animals for example rooster). Can both individuals become better off if Beverly pays Charles some amount of money to keep the rabbit?

1. Choose one of the approaches listed below for protecting elephants from poachers in African countries. A. The government sets up enormous national parks that have sufficient habitat for elephants to thrive and forbids all local people to enter the parks or to injure either the elephants or their habitat in any way. B. The government sets up national parks and designates ten villages around the park's edges as official tourist centers that become places where tourists can stay and bases for guided tours inside the national park. 2. Depending on the approach you have chosen (A or B), explain how the incentives will affect the local villagers, who are often very poor. 3. Which approach (A or B) seems more likely to help the elephant population?4. Discuss the practice of poaching elephants and the need for environmental protection? 5. Explain how the practice of poaching elephants is a negative externality?
4. Efficiency in the presence of externalities Cars impose many external costs on society: carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to air pollution, congestion on roadways, and so on. Therefore, the market quantity of cars is not equal to the efficient quantity. The following graph shows the private demand for cars, the private supply of cars, and the social supply of cars, which incorporates both private costs and external costs. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the market quantity. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the socially optimum quantity. Note: Drop lines will extend to both axes automatically. DERIVATE QUARKET O5OCIAL SSOCIAL SPRVATE QUANTITY OF CARS From society's standpoint, the market is producing cars. This is an example of of resources. PRICE OF CARS
3. Now reconsider the issue of soybeans from the perspective of Chinese consumers. Assume you are a Chinese consumer who drinks soymilk each day. Demonstrate using a graph how your consumption of soymilk differs from the socially optimal level. Is the price you pay for soymilk in current market conditions the correct amount, too high, or too low? Why? Ensure that you label your graph correctly (all curves, axes, price and quantities labeled). Show the deadweight loss of soymilk consumption, and what price should be charged for soymilk to move the amount of soymilk you drink to the optimal level.

9. A village is located next to 1000 acres of prime grazing land. The village presently owns the land and allows all residents to graze cows freely. Some members of the village council have suggested that the land is being overgrazed. Is this likely to be true? These same members have also suggested that the village should either require grazers to purchase an annual permit or sell off the land to the grazers. Would either of these be a good idea?

1. Externalities - Definition and examples 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 adverse, 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. ? PRICE (Dollars per unit) QUANTITY (Units) Supply Demand Demand Supply With this type of…
19. This next question will require you to draw on what you have learned about supply and demand and taxes. A study finds that leaf blowers make too much noise; therefore it is considered a externality, so the government imposes a $10 tax on the sale of every unit to correct for the social cost of the noise pollution. The tax completely internalizes the externality. Before the corrective tax, Leaves are Us Manufacturing regularly sold blowers for $100 and market quantity is 300. Draw the supply and demand curve for leaf blowers. Label the axes, the curves, market price, market quantity, and equilibrium. Which curve represents private or internal costs? represents external and private costs? This is also known as What is the private market price? What is the private market quantity? Which curve costs. After the tax is in place, the consumer price of leaf blowers rises to $105. With this change in price, the number of leaf blowers will (decrease/increase). Why will this happen?
2. Suppose we are considering fire hydrants in a small neighborhood. For simplicity, assume that only two individuals live in this neighborhood; Bob and Nancy. Once the fire hydrants are supplied by the city, they are automatically available to both Bob and Nancy. Thus, we can view the fire hydrants as public goods. The table below summarizes Bob and Nancy's individual marginal willingness to pay for fire hydrants. Number of Fire Hydrants Bob's MWTP $480 400 320 240 160 Nancy' MWTP $80 60 40 20 0 Suppose that one fire hydrant is provided in the neighborhood. Bob and Nancy are both being charged a municipal tax of $300 each to pay for the hydrant. Would Bob or Nancy (or both) be considered a 'free rider'? Explain your answer.
