In the context of energy supply, describe how the existence of a negative production externality may lead to a socially inefficient outcome. Critically analyse a Pigovian solution aimed at internalising this type of externality.
Classify each statement as true or false. True False The social cost is the sum of private and external costs When the production of goods results in pollution, private, and social costs are the same. Private costs are the costs that the firm is not obligated to disclose to the public. The terms "social cost" and "external cost" are synonyms. When the production of good results in pollution, private and social costs are different. Pollution is an example of an external cost. Wages are an example of an external cost.
Consider two ways of commuting in a crowded city: taking public transportation, such as subway and buses, or driving your own car. A person who chooses to take public transportation in a crowded city imposes a NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE externality on drivers. A policy implication of this result is a SUBSIDY FOR OR TAX ON those who take public transportation. Persons who choose to drive their own cars to get around in a crowded city impose a NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE externality on other drivers. A policy implication of this result is a TAX ON OR SUBSIDY FOR those who drive their own cars.
Typically this kind of economic activity results in environmental harm through production and consumption externalities. When a country such as Econ Land manages to break the link between economic activity and environmental harm, it is known as ["decoupling", "uncoupling"] . Whether Econ Land has truly broken this link or not depends on the amount of ["export pollution", "import pollution"] they are responsible for, pollution in other countries resulting from the production of products consumed in the country of Econ Land.
The following graph represents the market for high-emissions cars. Answer this question assuming that the externality is not internalised. In the stylised model, what is the cost of pollution per high-emission vehicle purchased by buyers equal to?
The following scenarios are examples of externalities. Which is an example of a negative externality? Group of answer choices The local library decides to expand and in addition to the building structure creates a plaza with benches and three different types of fountains.

Question 43 Refer to the situation and table in Question 42. From an economic perspective, should the new street light be purchased?

Yes, because it provides benefits to people in the town. No, because the total benefit from the streetlight would be less than the total cost.
