Consider an infectious disease such as the flu which is spread primarily through virus particles in aerosolized respiratory droplets of already infected people. a In the midst of an infectious disease epidemic of this sort, is it privately rational for people to limit their exposure to other people, perhaps by staying home from work or not going to school? b An infected person who goes out into public areas and does not take precautions to contain their respiratory emissions clearly poses a negative externality on those around them. Does an uninfected person going out into public areas also pose a negative externality? c For a particularly severe disease outbreak of this sort, one possible government response is to exaggerate to the public both the harm that might arise from contracting the disease and the likelihood of contracting the disease. In what ways might such a strategy reduce the harm to the public from the disease epidemic? In what ways might such a strategy increase the…

Do COVID-19 Vaccines create external benefit? Why? Then should the government subsidize this activity?
How do preferences on the available vaccine for COVID19 affect or contribute to microeconomics? Please answer in 250 words.
In order to suppress the spread of a viral disease, the government has resorted to nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) that restrict the mobility of individuals such as quarantine and lockdown. Provide an economic framework, based on private and social benefits and costs that could guide the government in selecting the appropriate form and level of NPI. In the absence of a highly contagious disease, an individual engaging in activity x does not externalize any cost to others. In the presence of the disease, then an infected individual can transmit the disease to others during the performance of his or her activities. a. Discuss the nature of the externality, if there is any.

Suppose Homer and Smithers are in the same health insurance pool and they pay the same premium for their health insurance. Suppose further, that the SNPP discriminates against employees on the basis of body weight so that a negative wage penalty is associated with obesity. Finally, suppose Homer eschews exercise and loves jelly donuts much more than Smithers does. As a result, Homer also has much higher expected medical expenditures. Does Homer impose a negative externality on Smithers? Explain why or why not, and describe carefully any assumptions you need to answer this question.

During a nationwide program to immunize the population against a new strain of the flu, public health officials determined that the cost of inoculating x% of the susceptible populationwould be approximately C(x) = 1.85x/100-x million dollars. (i) What would it cost to providing immunization to the first 20% of the susceptible population?(ii) What would it cost to provide immunization to the next 30%of the susceptible population?(iii) Suppose 17 million dollars are available for providing immunization. What percentage of the susceptible population will not receive immunization?
