Common resources and the tragedy of the commonsTim, Brian, and Edison are fishermen who live next to a lake that is open to fishing; in other words, anyone is free to use the lake for fishing. Assumethat these men are the only three fishermen who fish in this lake and that the lake is large enough for all three fishermen to fish intensively at thesame time.Each year, the fishermen choose independently how many fish to catch; specifically, they choose whether to fish intensively (that is, to place severalfishing lines in the water for long periods of time, which hurts the sustainability of the lake if enough people do it) or to fish nonintensively (which doesnot hurt the sustainability of the lake). None of them has the ability to control how much the others fish, and each fisherman cares only about his ownprofitability and not about the state of the lake.Assume that as long as no more than one fisherman fishes intensively, there are enough fish to restock the lake. However, if two or more fishintensively, the lake will become useless in the future. Of course, fishing intensively earns a fisherman more money and greater profit because he cansell more fish.The lake is an example ofbecause the fish in the lake areand

The Gizmo Company is planning to develop new household gadgets. Table 13.4 shows the companys demand for financial capital for research and development of these gadgets, based on expected rates of return from sales. Now, say that every investment would have an additional 5 social benefitâ€”that is, an investment that pays at least a 6 return to the Gizmo Company will pay at least an 11 return for society as a whole; an investment that pays at least 7 for the Gizmo Company will pay at least 12 for society as a whole, and so on. Answer the questions that follow based on this information. If the going interest rate is 9, how much will Gizmo invest in R. How much will the firm invest if it also receives the social benefits of its investment? (Add an additional 5 return on all levels of investment.)
Name two public goods and explain why they are public goods.
Consider two approaches to reducing emissions of CO2 into the environment from manufacturing industries in the United States. In the first approach, the U.S. government makes it a policy to use only predetermined technologies. In the second approach, the U.S. government determines which technologies are cleaner and subsidizes their use. Of the two approaches, which is the command-and-control policy?
12. Explain in your own words the three strategies where sustainability depends. 3 Strategies: 1. First, the world needs bring population growth under control. 2. Second strategy is conservation of finite resources. 3. Third strategy is reducing waste.
4. Answer both questions 2. Suppose a particular stretch of river can be used to build a hydropower dam that generates Q Kilowatt-hours (MWh) of electricity. The electricity price is 1.44 per Kilowatt-hour. The opportunity cost of producing power is C = $0.0007 x Q2 per hour. The opportunity cost of the dam is due to the foregone net benefit that would have resulted from recreation activity related to the river. What is the net benefit of the dam if the dam has optimal size? 3. Assume that the society should decide on how to allocate 24 units of depletable resource between two periods (period 1 and period 2). Benefit and cost of extracting qi units of depletable resource in period i = 1,2 are Bi = 127qi – 2qi2 and Ci = 17qi respectively. How much should the society extract in period 1 if the discount rate is 2%?
Kenji and Paolo are considering contributing toward the creation of a building mural. Each can choose whether to contribute $300 to the building mural or to keep that $300 for a new suit. Since a building mural is a public good, both Kenji and Paolo will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.70 of benefit. For example, if both Kenji and Paolo choose to contribute, then a total of $600 would be contributed to the building mural. So, Kenji and Paolo would each receive $420 of benefit from the building mural, and their combined benefit would be $840. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a new suit is a private good, if Kenji chooses to spend $300 on a new suit, Kenji would get $300 of benefit from the new suit and Paolo wouldn't receive any benefit from Kenji's choice. If Kenji still spends $300 on a new suit and Paolo chooses to contribute $300 to the…
please answer all including ones that may have already been selected. Eric and Kenji are considering contributing toward the creation of a public park. Each can choose whether to contribute $300 to the public park or to keep that $300 for a cell phone. Since a public park is a public good, both Eric and Kenji will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.90 of benefit. For example, if both Eric and Kenji choose to contribute, then a total of $600 would be contributed to the public park. So, Eric and Kenji would each receive $540 of benefit from the public park, and their combined benefit would be $1,080. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a cell phone is a private good, if Eric chooses to spend $300 on a cell phone, Eric would get $300 of benefit from the cell phone and Kenji wouldn't receive any benefit from Eric's choice. If Eric still spends $300…

Paolo and Van are considering contributing toward the creation of a water fountain. Each can choose whether to contribute $400 to the water fountain or to keep that $400 for a weekend getaway. Since a water fountain is a public good, both Paolo and Van will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.80 of benefit. For example, if both Paolo and Van choose to contribute, then a total of $800 would be contributed to the water fountain. So, Paolo and Van would each receive $640 of benefit from the water fountain, and their combined benefit would be $1,280. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a weekend getaway is a private good, if Paolo chooses to spend $400 on a weekend getaway, Paolo would get $400 of benefit from the weekend getaway and Van wouldn't receive any benefit from Paolo's choice.

6. Common resources and the tragedy of the commons Brian, Edison, and Kevin are loggers who live next to a forest that is open to logging; in other words, anyone is free to use the forest for logging. Assume that these men are the only three loggers who log in this forest and that the forest is large enough for all three loggers to log intensively at the same time. Each year, the loggers choose independently how many acres of trees to cut down; specifically, they choose whether to log intensively (that is, to clear-cut a section of the forest, which hurts the sustainability of the forest if enough people do it) or to log nonintensively (which does not hurt the sustainability of the forest). None of them has the ability to control how much the others log, and each logger cares only about his own profitability and not about the state of the forest. Assume that as long as no more than one logger logs intensively, there are enough trees to regrow the forest. However, if two or more log…
