In response to increasing concern about man made climate change, there have been a number of policy proposals. This includes:
Cap and Trade
Letting the free-market deal with the issue on its own.
Pick one of these proposals. Write a short argument for your policy proposal. Focus specifically on the issues related to market efficiency and externalities. How does your proposal address these issues.
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)?
It is all about the The Black Rhino.
The black rhino is one of the most endangered species on the planet. In southern Africa in 1970 there were 65,000 Black Rhinos. Now there are only 2,500. Basic economics tells us why they are in trouble and what we can try to do about it.
Why do people kill the black rhino?
Because they can make a lot of money relative to the risk of getting caught - just like drug trafficking and lying on your taxes. In Asian communities the horn is viewed as an aphrodisiac and a powerful pain reliever. In Yemen sabers are made from them. As a result one horn can fetch $30K on the black market. The average yearly income in southern Africa is $1,000 and falling. The black rhino is worth more dead than alive. This is a market that does not correct itself.
Another piece of this, that is common to many environmental challenges, is that most black rhinos are communal property, not private property. Imagine if all the black rhinos were in the hands of one rancher – would…

What are the four categories of goods we can identify using those attributes, and what is an example of a good in each category?arrow_forwardConsider two ways of protecting elephants from poachers in African countries. In one approach, 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. In a second approach, the government sets up national parks and designates 10 villages around the edges of the park as official tourist centers that become places where tourists can stay and bases for guided tours inside the national park. Consider the different incentives of local villagers—who often are very poor—in each of these plans. Which plan seems more likely to help the elephant population?arrow_forward

When a good or service is Non-Rival and Non-Excludable, it is is classified as a a) Private Good b) Externality e) Club Good d) Public Good 25. An economist reasons as follows: "Time spent at home taking care of a child is time not spent earning income, so the opportunity cost of having a child includes the potential wage earnings women give up by parenting." Assuming we agreed with this, and that women enjoy children (and/or invest in them to be taken care of in retirement), we would conclude that, all else equal: b) a) in societies were wages for women's work is low, women are likely to choose to have more babies. in societies were wages for women's work is low, women are likely to choose to have fewer babies. women have too many children in poor countries economists cannot make any predictions about the determinants of population growth. c) d) 26.
