6. Which is the best example of health care insurance in the sense of socializing risk?a. A dental insurance policy that pays for two check-ups a year but nothing else.b. A comprehensive health care policy that essentially pays for everything including check ups but is very expensivec. A health care policy that is relatively inexpensive but only pays for medical expenses after a $2,000 annual deductible is met. After $2,000 the policy pays 100 percent for everything.

Part 1. Imagine you have a diesel-powered car, and you can buy either diesel or biodiesel fuel (which is possible in some parts of the US). The cost of biodiesel is $38/GJ, and the biodiesel causes 22 kg CO2 emissions per GJ over its lifetime. The diesel costs $30/GJ and causes 88 kg CO2 emissions per GJ over its lifetime (4 times more!!). Part 1: What is the cost of mitigation of choosing biodiesel? Part 2. What carbon tax would be required to make the biodiesel cost the same as the diesel?
Radio stations, tornado sirens, light houses, and street lights are all public goods in that all are nonrivalrous and nonexclusionary. Therefore why does the government provide tornado sirens, street lights and light houses but not radio stations (other than PBS stations)?
Suppose a city releases 16 million gallons of raw sewage into a nearby lake. Table 12.8 shows the total costs of cleaning up the sewage to different levels, together with the total benefits of doing so. (Benefits include environmental, recreational, health, and industrial benefits.) Using the information in Table 12.8, calculate the marginal costs and marginal benefits of reducing sewage emissions for this city. See Production, Costs and Industry Structure if you need a refresher on how to calculate marginal costs. What is the optimal level of sewage for this city? Why not just pass a law that films can emit zero sewage? After all, the total benefits of zero emissions exceed the total costs.
1. How did Covid-19 affect businesses and the overall economy? 2. Governments and pharmaceutical companies rushed quickly ahead to develop a vaccine. Vaccinations and immunizations are examples of positive externalities. A positive externality is when an activity creates a benefit for those who are not involved in the transaction, a third party. Let’s examine the vaccination of Covid-19 as a positive externality. Question: Why is the Covid-19 vaccination considered a positive externality? 3. Market supply curve S and private demand curve Dp represent the market for vaccinations. Equilibrium is at point e, and the number of people getting the vaccination is Qe. Society would benefit, however, if more people would get the vaccination. Demand curve DS represents the marginal social benefit (MSB), which includes the private demand for vaccinations plus the external benefits that flow from it. Socially optimal enrollment would be Q1 (point f). Society would benefit the most by…
Questions for Further Discussion 1. It would seem that neighbors could easily negotiate among themselves to settle problems of local externalities such as noise and unsightly land uses. Yet most communities control these problems with local laws and regula-tions. Why? 2. Suppose courts changed rules regarding burden of proof, requiring polluters to show that their emissions are harmless, rather than pollutees to show that they have been harmed. What impact might this have? 3. Suppose a community weighed each resident's solid-waste disposal when it was picked up and published the individual totals each year in the local newspaper. Do you think this would lead to a reduction in the total quantity of solid waste disposed of in the community?
Suppose MAC = 40 - 2E and MD = 2E. Draw a graph to show and calculate the following: a) What is the social net benefit of pollution abatement at e*? b) What is the social net benefit of pollution abatement with no pollution control? c) What is the social net benefit of pollution abatement with zero pollution? d) If the actual emission level is 15, what are the total social benefit, total social cost, and net social benefit of pollution abatement? Compared with the efficient level, what is the deadweight loss (in terms of missing net social benefit)?
5) Suppose that an international agreement requires exporters to reduce their carbon emissions. In this context, government subsidies are provided to R&Ds that will enable green-friendly production in exporting industries that produce high-tech.a) Explain what might be the reasons for the implementation of such an activist policy.(Answer this question with the arguments of your main course book, (Krugman; Obstfeld; Melitz; 2015))b) Describe how the Environmental Kuznet curve works. Let's assume that there is a green-friendly technology transfer from developed countries to less developed countries in order to achieve the goal of a decrease in emission, then what will happen to the curve?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Why the market tends to fail when dealing with environmental issues? It is said many externalities in environmental economics have features that are similar to that of public goods. We know that the provision of some public goods such as lighthouse can be solved through the market rather effectively. What makes environmental goods such as clean air different from other public goods such as lighthouse? Why is it more difficult to solve the provision of clear air through the market?
#3. Hannah gets 50 utils from visiting her family for Thanksgiving. But there is a 1% chance that she will get the coronavirus from them. If she gets the coronavirus, her utility is -6000 utils. Her total utility would be -5950 (i.e. 50 – 6000). She gets 0 utils from staying healthy (total utility = 50 + 0 = 50). If Hannah doesn't visit her family for Thanksgiving, then she gets -25 utils from eating turkey cold cuts alone in front of the TV. In that case, there is no risk of getting sick. What will Hannah do? a. Visit her family for Thanksgiving b. Not visit her family for Thanksgiving c. Visit her family if she is risk-loving, not visit if she is risk-averse d. Visit her family if she is risk-averse, not visit if she is risk-loving
