PRICE OF WILDFLOWERS 9. Efficiency in the presence of externalities Wildflowers grant many external benefits on society: the benefits they bestow on polinators and other native species, improving local ecosystems, and so on. Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of wildflowers does not equal the socially optimal quantity. The following graph plots the demand for wildflowers (their private value), the supply of wildflowers (the private cost of producing them), and the social value of wildflowers, including both the private value and external benefits Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the market equilibrium quantity.

Sub : EconomicsPls answer very fast.i ll upvote correct answer . Thank You The figure below shows the market for water-skiing permits on Shuswap Lake in British Columbia. Every person who wishes to water ski must obtain a permit, which is valid for one day. Suppose that each water skier imposes a $4 negative externality on other people who use the lake.

A local school administrator observes an increase in the number of flu cases in the public schools over the last two years. She is concerned that some families cannot afford flu vaccine and are therefore not having children vaccinated. She is also concerned that the failure to vaccinate some children is putting other children at risk, so she proposes that the state subsidize vaccines to increase coverage rates. a. Determine whether the failure to vaccinate some children is an external benefit or an external cost. If an external cost is present, move point A and point B to show the marginal social cost curve. If an external benefit is present, move point A and point B to show the marginal social benefit curve. Place point C at the equilibrium outcome. Place point D at the socially optimal outcome. Flu vaccines A B D Supply (marginal private cost) Price
Economics: Public Economics Question: 1 Table 3 The following table shows the marginal costs for each of four arms (A, B, C, and D) to eliminate units of pollution from their production processes. For example, for Firm A to eliminate one unit of pollution, it would cost $54, and for Firm A to eliminate a second unit of pollution it would cost an additional $67. Refer to Table 3. If the government charged a fee of $90 per unit of pollution, how many units of pollution would the arms eliminate altogether? Guess: 11 Question 2: Refer to Figure 5 (Graph 4). Which graph illustrates a pollution permit program? a. the left graph b. both graphs c. the right graph d. neither graph Thank you for your help and support Instructor Agent!
Viral infections such as flu are highly contagious. The number of infections and thus the spread of the disease can be prevented by getting vaccinated. However, the decision to take vaccine is voluntary and some people choose not to go for it for various reasons.] [What type of externality occurs by getting vaccinated against contagious diseases? Explain your answer in 100 words or less. [In a diagram, show the market equilibrium quantity of the vaccine. Is the quantity also socially efficient? Explain in 100 words or less and demonstrate using the same diagram. [Suggest one method to achieve a socially efficient outcome. Explain your answer in 100 or less words.
Externalities Do you think that there would be external effects associated with Water from a uranium mine leaking into Kakadu National Park? If so, what would be the nature of the external effects? Can you think of policies that might deal with each external effect (that is, improve social wellbeing)?

3. The effect of negative externalities on the optimal quantity of consumption Consider the market for electric cars. Suppose that a electric car manufacturing facility dumps sludge into a nearby river, creating a negative externality for those living downstream from the facility. Producing additional electric cars imposes a constant per-unit external cost of $600. The following graph shows the demand (private value) curve and the supply (private cost) curve for electric cars. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the social cost curve when the external cost is $600 per unit. PRICE (Dollars per unit of electric cars) 2000 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 0 + 1 O □ ☐ O 2 3 4 5 QUANTITY (Units of electric cars) The market equilibrium quantity is ☐ Supply (Private Cost) 6 Demand (Private Value) 7 Social Cost (?) units of electric cars, but the socially optimal quantity of electric car production is To create an incentive for the firm to produce the socially optimal…

If the government subsidizes vaccination against influenza to internalize the externality, should it impose the subsidy on consumers or producers of flu vaccines? How large should the subsidy be? How much less per flu vaccine would patients (i.e., consumers) pay? How much more would manufacturers (i.e., producers) of flu vaccines receive?
Public wifi hotspots grant many external benefits on society: more equitable access to the internet, increased educational opportunities, and so on. Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of public wifi hotspots does not equal the socially optimal quantity. The following graph plots the demand for public wifi hotspots (their private value), the supply of public wifi hotspots (the private cost of producing them), and the social value of public wifi hotspots, 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.
