- Assume a market for fertilizers, and let D denote the demand of fertilizers while S their supply. The inverse demand is p = 10 - q, and the supply is MC = q. The marginal damage created by runoff water being exposed to fertilizers is MEC = q/2 The use of fertilizers is creating an externality and the government wishes to intervene in the market. Use a figure to depict the competitive outcome. Derive the competitive equilibrium outcome. Use a second figure to explain the negative externality attributed to the use of fertilizers. The use of fertilizers improves yield, but it also damages the underground aquifer. What is the Pigovian Tax? Use a figure to explain. Can it be used to correct for the externality? Derive the Pigovian tax and characterize the social optimum solution. Can a standard achieve the social optimum? What about a quota? Explain using a figure.

- P = 500 - 4Q and the (inverse ) 2. Consider the market for automobiles Let the (inverse ) market demand function be market supply function be P = - 100 + 2Q Plot the demand and supply functions and show the market equilibrium Find the equilibrium output and price in this market and show it on your graph Consumption of automobiles (driving behavior of buyers) generate negative external effects on others in society because emissions associated with driving and any increase in the probability of automobile accidents (let us assume more cars on the road lead to a higher probability of automobile accidents). Assume that the marginal external loss/damage to society from the consumption of a car is worth $60. Using the information given above, construct the marginal social benefit and marginal social cost curves as necessary d. Now calculate the efficient number of cars that should be sold and bought in the market e. Identify the net efficiency loss to society from the market level of cars…Show the market for cigarettes in equilibrium, assuming that there are no laws banning smoking in public. Label the equilibrium private market price and quantity as Pm and Qm. Add whatever is needed to the model to show the impact of the negative externality from second-hand smoking. (Hint: In this case it is the consumers, not the sellers, who are creating the negative externality.) Label the social optimal output and price as Pe and Qe. On the graph, shade in the deadweight loss at the market output.a) What is meant by Pareto efficiency in economics? Explain. b) List two examples of market failures that are relevant for environmental economics.
- Suppose that externalities exist in the market for rice (e.g., pollution and wastes dumped in nearby water reservoir producing ice cream) and this has inflicted damage to nearby community. The associated marginal damage was estimated as MD = 2Q. Sketch, in the same diagram, the MD (marginal damage) associated with this good’s production. Explain why MD curve is upward sloping.Because the free market (competitive) equilibrium maximizes social efficiency, why would the government ever intervene in an economy?Which of the following is true if good x is an externality exhibiting good. If consumption of good x by person 1 exhibits a positive externality, then consumption of good x by person 2 must also exhibit a positive externality. Consumers consume too much good y relative to what is socially optimal. Consumers consume too much good x relative to what is socially optimal. Equilibrium consumption of the good is not Pareto efficient.
- Suppose that speeding imposes externalities on other people resulting in a social cost of $50. A town is considering hiring an extra police officer to give out speeding tickets. If we want to maximize social welfare (absent enforcement costs), which of the following statements are true? (Assume risk neutral drivers.) What happens to the socially optimal cost of the speeding ticket if the town decides to hire the police officer? a) It goes down b) It goes up c) The amount that it goes down depends on salary of the police officer d) The amount if goes up depends on the salary of the police officer e) None of the aboveConsider the production and sale of Good B. Suppose that the “Social Value” of each unit of Good B is greater than the “Willingness to Pay” of the individual who consumes that unit. There are NO externalities associated with the production or consumption of Good B, and Good B is sold in a competitive market. Suppose that the “Efficient” level of output for Good B is 400,000 units. Is the market equilibrium level of output greater than 400,000, less than 400,000, or equal to 400,000 ( just circle your answer; you don’t have to explain)?a. Suppose a market is introduced for the externality Eveline causes on Victor. Let us denote by px the price of this externality. Suppose "property rights" are assigned such that Victor has the right not to experience the smell of cooked cabbage. The competitive equilibrium price ratios pm and Px are equal to? b. Derive the market allocation corresponding to the new competitive equilibrium of the economy formed by Eveline and Victor (ce, me) and (cv,mv). c. Is the new competitive equilibrium Pareto efficient?
