A nation’s population size and the affluence of its citizenseach influence its resource consumption and environmentalimpact. As of 2013, the world’s population passed 7.1 billion,average per capita income was $11,690 per year, and the latest estimate for the world’s average ecological footprint was2.7 hectares (ha) per person. The sampling of data in the tablewill allow you to explore patterns in how population, affluence,and environmental impact are related. Draw a graph illustrating total impact (on the y axis) inrelation to affluence (on the x axis). What do the resultssuggest to you?

Case: Despite 2015 Paris agreement, global carbon emissions increased 1.7 percent in 2017 and a further 2.7 percent in 2018; it has been estimated that the rate of increase in 2019 will be among the highest on record. The last four years have been the hottest on record, with 2019 on track to make it five. But analyses suggest that fast action now can reduce carbon emissions within 12 years and hold global increases below 2 degrees C and perhaps 1.5. Even though carbon emissions in The Gambia, Morocco and India are expected to rise, they’ll fall short of exceeding the 1.5-degree Celsius limit. But some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, and United States, are not trying hard enough. a. Explain the inefficiency in this case! Use graphics b. Why can't this problem be solved through market mechanisms as in private goods? c. Give possible public (global) solutions and private (global) solutions to this and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each.

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. If Paolo still spends $400 on a weekend getaway and Van chooses to…

Two important industries on the island of Bermuda are fishing and tourism.According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nationsand the Bermuda Department of Statistics, in 2009 the 306 registered fishermen inBermuda caught 387 metric tons of marine fish. And the 2,719 people employed byhotels produced 554,400 hotel stays (measured by the number of visitor arrivals).Suppose that this production point is efficient in production. Assume also that theopportunity cost of 1 additional metric ton of fish is 2,000 hotel stays and that thisopportunity cost is constant (the opportunity cost does not change).a. If all 306 registered fishermen were to be employed by hotels (in addition to the2,719 people already working in hotels), how many hotel stays could Bermudaproduce?

Beth and Eleanor are considering contributing toward the creation of a building mural. Each can choose whether to contribute $400 to the building mural or to keep that $400 for a weekend getaway. Since a building mural is a public good, both Beth and Eleanor will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.60 of benefit. For example, if both Beth and Eleanor choose to contribute, then a total of $800 would be contributed to the building mural. So, Beth and Eleanor would each receive $480 of benefit from the building mural, and their combined benefit would be $960. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table.

We are all aware that there are many natural resources, fossil fuels like coal, crude petroleum, mineral resources etc, which are essential inputs in modern manufacturing / production processes, and are available in limited stock (i.e., are exhaustible). In this discussion please discuss the role of technology in efficient utilization of these exhaustible resources which you might have come across in your own work experience. You could also discuss instances of firms taking steps to adopt renewable natural resources to cut down their reliance on exhaustible resources. 350 words and use refernces
