Many cities have taxes on products that are considered "bad," like cigarettes and alcohol. These things may be bad for the individual who consumes them (in terms of lowered health), but also imposes costs on society if people who smoke need health care or people who drink cause accidents. Taxes on these sorts of goods are sometimes referred to as "sin taxes." The idea is that taxing the good will cause people to buy less of that bad (sinful) product.
Do you think these taxes work well do produce the desired effect of lowering consumption? What factors may cause a tax to work better or worse as far as lowering consumption? Would these factors cause more or less tax revenue to be raised? If the goal is to reduce consumption, does tax revenue even matter? Would a sin tax work as well on other products like sodas? Why or why not?

The City of Ditty passes a law that requires all pizza delivery persons to sing to customers when delivering pizza. Tone Deaf, the owner of the “No Frills Pizza Restaurant” challenges the law as being a denial of Equal Protection of the Laws because pizza delivery persons are being treated differently from other delivery persons or other restaurant employees. The City of Ditty claims that its governmental interest in passing the law was part of its overall economic plan to attract music industry type businesses to Ditty by creating a “music-friendly” city. If the Court finds this to be a legitimate governmental interest, what else must Ditty prove in order to win its case?
the law is necessary to achieve that interest.
the law directly advances that interest.
the law creates the least restrictions on important fundamental rights while advancing that interest.
the law is reasonably related to achieving the legitimate interest.
the law is supported by more than half the city…
According to a report from the US Census Bureau, "the average lifetime earnings of a full-time year round work
with a high school education is about $1.2 million, compared to about $2.1 million for a college graduate. This
indicates that there is a considerable benefit to a graduate from investing in his or her own education. Tuition at
most state universities covers only about 2/3- of actual costs, so the state provides a subsidy to college
education. If this subsidy is appropriate, is the externality created by the college education a positive or
negative externality? What does this imply about the costs and benefits to the student as opposed to the costs
and benefits to society in general? What are some reasons for the differences?

- The theory of distributive justice that I found to be the most convincing was the Utilitarianism theory. In current times there is a large amount of economic inequality. It states in the textbook, "The top 0.1 percent of American families owns 22 percent of the nation’s wealth–exactly the same share as the bottom 90 percent" (Shaw, 2017, p. 85). The Utilitarianism theory believes that there should be a greater equality of income. They believe that if there was a more equal distribution of income, then the happiness of that population would vastly increase. The textbook mentions that countries that have a more equal distribution of income tend to have lower rates of infant mortality, life expectancy, malnutrition, obesity, teenage pregnancy, economic insecurity, personal anxiety, and other measures, in comparison to countries that have a larger income inequality, such as the United States (Shaw, 2017, p. 92). It is even believed that income equality can promote economic growth (Shaw,…arrow_forwardWrite the two views of the basis for determining the social discount rate?arrow_forwardEkdkckdofockkedarrow_forward
- The City Council of Lincoln, Nebraska has proposed raising the minimum wage in their city up to $12.50 per hour up from the current level of $9.50. They are not sure what to do because they want people to make more money but they also want as many people as possible to have jobs.

- Let's consider the market for spaces in medical schools (for doctors, say). Suppose the demand for space is given by QD=120-0.5P where P is the price of attending medical school (in thousands of dollars). Also suppose the supply is given by Qs=0.5P. The equilibrium price in this market is The equilibrium quantity of spaces provided is Going to medical school provides a private benefit to the person attending (the future doctor). But, it also benefits the public in that there are more doctors available to provide healthcare. Therefore, this a market with ✓externalities. Suppose that the additional benefit to society from each space in medical school is 60,000 dollars. In this case, the efficient quantity of spaces (that which would most benefit society) is The goverment could achieve the socially efficient outcome by an amount of ✓dollars per space. ✓the schools that provide spacesarrow_forwardTwo of the most fundamental findings in welfare economics describe the relationship between markets and Pareto-efficiency.
