Market Failure Analysis

To understand Market failure, we need to first understand welfare economics. An Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto stated that allocation of resources in an efficient manner such that an economic change, which harms no one and makes someone better off, indicates an increase in social welfare. It is also called Pareto Optimality, where resources cannot further be reallocated without harming one. This does not apply to those economic changes, which harm some and benefit others. social welfare increases if the utility of any of its members' increases and none decrease in the economy.

In 2014, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a new farm bill establishing the Margin Protection Program (MPP) for dairy producers. Assume that the program has effectively created a price floor for milk at $0.18 per pound. Use the following additional information to answer the following questions: Without the price floor, the equilibrium price of milk is $0.15 per pound, and the equilibrium quantity is 200 billion pounds of milk. The supply curve intersects the price axis at $0.05 and the demand curve intersects the price axis at $0.25. At the price floor of $0.18, the quantity supplied is 260 billion, and the quantity demanded is 140 billion. To support the price floor, the USDA buys up the 120 billion pounds of excess milk. When the USDA purchases the excess supply, the milk soon spoils and is discarded. As a result, the total surplus is reduced by the amount the USDA spent buying surplus milk. Assume that the taxes used to pay for the USDA purchases are not levied on the…
