What is an externality?
HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air. HighFlyer Airlines has developed a list of possible methods to increase cabin space, along with estimates of how these approaches would affect the planes operating costs and ticket sales. Based on these estimates, Table 13.5 shows the value of R, how much should the firm invest in R on top of the private return; that is, an R private return to HighFlyer Airlines would have a 9 social return. How much investment is socially optimal at the 6 interest rate?
What is the free rider problem?
Part B C D needed b) Ana also reads that climate change is caused by carbon emissions from air travel. Two airlines run flights between two cities, Air A and Air B. The government has said that the airlines can produce 100 units of carbon emissions between them, under a carbon permit scheme, and should decide how to split the 100 units between them. Air A and Air B have the same operating costs and the same costs of reducing the amount of carbon that they produce per flight.Say Air A has been operating on the route for over 50 years and the government decides to give all the permits to Air A (based on its long use of the route). Air A offers a proportion R of the 100 units of permits to Air B and Air B can accept the offer or reject it and not fly on the route.• How will the other parameters of the model as discussed in this module affect the value of R* at which Air B accepts the offer?• Say that the government gives the permits to Air A for 5 years, and will gives them to Air B for…

Paper Works Inc. makes paper products and dumps its waste into the Fish River. The waste has harmed the productivity of the river's brown trout fishery, angering anglers that love to flyfish the river. Downstream from Paper Works Inc. is a fishing resort and guide service, Fish Ranch, who has experienced a significant decrease in profits due to waste dumped into the river by Paper Works. Inc. Suppose that Fish Ranch sues Paper Works Inc. on behalf of all anglers harmed by Paper Works Inc., and that the actual damages are $50 million each year. A. Suppose that the benefit to Paper Works Inc. of dumping the waste into the river is $75 million annually. Is it efficient for Paper Works Inc. to dump the waste into the river? How about if the benefit to Paper Works Inc. is $25 million? Explain. B. The court orders Paper Works Inc. to pay damages of $50 million so that all the anglers hurt by the pollution are compensated. a. What will Paper Works Inc. do if its benefit from dumping waste…
Write down a model of positive production externality with two firms, in which theproduction activities of one firm directly affects the production/cost of the other firm.State and explain the key assumptions of the model. Using the model, answer thefollowing questions:(a) Explain why the presence of a positive production externality could prevent therealisation of an efficient outcome.(b) Name a possible cure for the positive production externality and explain how itcould solve the inefficiency problem.

WHY SHOULD OTHER PECPLE BENEFIT FROM MY HARD WORK? 1994 Wateron De tyh e d Figure 1 Figure 1 shows how Calvin carefully avoids creating a positive externality (think of this as the equivalent of a factory applying a filter to eliminate any polluting emissions). Assume that this way of snow shovelling does not create any additional costs for Calvin (no extra effort and he has no plans to return home any time soon). b) As creating positive externalities leads to a social problem (see question a), and Calvin's way of snow shovelling avoids creating positive externalities, does Calvin's behaviour imply an efficiency improvement from a social point of view? Explain.

warten population manghe ecosystem's Carrying capacity? 6. We have the following data for Demand Price and Costs for our product. Quantity Demand Price Costs 300 100 $21.63 $35.35 $5040.00 $2347.67 500 $17.25 $7481.67 1000 $12.70 $12469.67 1500 $10.26 $16196.00 We have reason to believe that the Demand Price is a power (exponential) function of some kind. Our Cost function is close to linear, but we expect, from some market analysis, that it is in fact quadratic. Approximate this data with a Demand Price function and a Cost function. Explain how confident you are; that is, how much error do you think is reasonable in this type of scenario? 区
