In a neighborhood, guest parking has its own area. Some families have more cars than what can fit in their driveway, so they park extra ones in the guest parking. Thiscauses actual guests to park in grassy areas. Over time, some spots of grass in the neighborhood are no longer green. This scenario represents a tragedy of thecommons.O TrueO False (01.03 MC)A social consequence of sustainability describes a negative change in the lives of the people in a community. Which statement best describes a social consequence ofsustainable land use?O If commons are protected, environmental issues could move to other areas.O Building more parks and houses will take away homes for animals living thereO When common lands are protected, land degradation slowly disappears.O If common land use is restricted, it can slow down the economy.

Answer asap please Suppose that a special interest group makes up 10% of the overall population. If a new proposal stands to generate $2 million in additional benefits to the group, the group will: Group of answer choices always support this proposal, since the costs are diffused over the entire population. never support this proposal if the costs are greater than $2 million. support this proposal only if the costs are less than $2 million. support this proposal only if the costs are less than $200,000.
)a-Ali receives utility from the Korean vaccine(K) and American vaccine(V) that he receives in thefollowing format: U=K*VPv=200Pk=160I=8000After the Korean vaccine price goes up to 250 TL, as there is increased international competition toreceive it what is the compensation the Turkish government needs to offer for the individual`s utility tostay constant?b)With the Korean vaccine price going up to 250 TL, please differentiate the substitution vs incomeeffect of this price increase. Is the vaccine a normal good or an inferior good?c) Individuals gain utility from two things: leisure(N) and numeraire good consumption(C). In their youththey maximize:U1(N1, C1) = (N)1/2 (C)1/2Budget constraint should be constructed in the following way: With 24 hours of work, you buy leisurehours, and the numeraire good, which has a price of 1. If you get an hourly wage rate of w,Please set up the Lagrangian for utility maximization. Solve for w=10, your labor decision for the firstperiod.d-Let us assume…
If a) the government uses a tradable permits program for pollution emissions, b) polluting firms are heterogeneous in terms of their marginal abatement costs (MACs), and c) each firm is initially allocated an equal amount of permits, it must be the case that: Select one: a. Firms with higher marginal abatement costs will pay firms with lower marginal abatement costs to abate more. b. Firms with lower marginal abatement costs will end up with more permits than firms with higher marginal abatement costs after trading. c. All firms will end up abating the same amount of emissions. d. All of the above are true. e. All of the above are false.
show that expectaion demages are efficient with respect to beach, but no efficient with respect to reliance.
Consider a uniformly mixed pollutant. If all of the polluters have different individual marginal abatement cost functions, then it wll not be possible to design a cost effective policy. Select one: O a. True O b. False
Three neighboring towns – Marshland, Dampland, and Wetland – all border the same lake. The lake frequently floods causing damage to property in all three towns. Each town would benefit from flood mitigation, but the level of benefits differs. With Z representing the level of mitigation: for Marshland, MB = 3 – Z for Dampland, MB = 4 – 2Z for Wetland, MB = 11- Z The marginal cost of flood mitigation is MC = 2 + 12Z Questions: ***Please Note*** Previous Expert Calculated: Z = 16/3 as the Solution to (a) Math Solver Calculates: Z = 1 ***Please Resolve*** (a) What is the socially optimal level of Z? (b) What would each individual town be willing to pay for this level of flood mitigation? (c) The representative from Wetland proposes that each town pay an equal share for the optimal level of flood mitigation. Would…
Suppose John buys a tiger because he wants to be like the cool king guy from The Walking Dead. John can take care to prevent his tiger from eating his neighbors by building a fence. The fence costs less than the expected harm to John’s neighbors that building the fence will prevent. Suppose that John’s neighbors also can take precautions, like wearing tiger-proof armor or carrying large caliber rifles with them at all times. Assume that the cost of these precautions is less than the expected harm from tiger maulings they will prevent, even if John were to build the fence. Given these circumstances, which is likely to be the most efficient rule? A. No liability B. Negligence C. Strict liability D. Strict liability and negligence provide equivalent incentives E. None of the above

Ali Receives Utility From (D)omestic Vaccines from Kayseri, and the Sinovac Vaccine-(F)oreign. The utility structure is U(D,F)=D x F. The price of the foreign vaccine because of increasing returns to scale is $200, whereas at its earlier stages, the domestic vaccine is produced at a higher cost, and higher price of $250. The government has given each and every citizen a fixed payment of $8000 to spend just on vaccines, but it has not specified which vaccines. a- Does Ali Solve the Utility Maximization Question in an interior equilibrium or a corner solution? How do you know? What condition does the interior equilibrium necessitate regardless. b- Find Ali's Utility Maximizing Level of Domestic and Foreign Vaccines when he uses just the government allowance on vaccines? What is his utility level? C- Suppose the government wants to decrease Turkey's health exports. It pushes a vaccine subsidy, just for domestic vaccines that makes the price of domestic equal to $160. How does the utility…
A law is passed providing for compulsory vaccination and subjects a person toimprisonment for refusing to submit vaccination, except when it is apparent or it canbe shown that the person is not fit for vaccination because of his physical condition. Isthe law valid?
Consider a used car market with asymmetric information. The owners of used cars know what their vehicles are worth but have no way of credibly demonstrating those values to potential buyers. Thus, potential buyers must always worry that the used car they are being offered may be a low quality “lemon.” a. Suppose that there are equal numbers of good and bad used cars in the market and that good used cars are worth $13,000 while bad used cars are worth $5,000. What is the average value of a used car? b. By how much does the average value exceed the value of a bad used car? By how much does the value of a good used car exceed the average value? c. Would a potential seller of a good used car be willing to accept the average value as payment for her vehicle? d. If a buyer negotiates with a seller to purchase the seller’s used car for a price equal to the average value, is the car more likely to be good or bad? e. Will the used-car market come to feature mostly—if not exclusively—lemons? How…
A company near a large city is required to keep its smokestack pollution to new lower levels, costing the company $2 million in additional equipment (which will last at least 10 years) and $100,000 a year in additional labor. Lowering the air pollutants in the region is expected to save $4 million in medical expenses in the affected region over the next 10 years. What level of pollution reduction gives the smallest benefit for money spent? Select one: a. From 1-20% of pollution reduction b. From a 20-40% pollution reduction c. From a 80-100% pollution reduction d. From a 60-80% pollution reduction
