- (Optimal Provision of Public Goods) Using at least two individual consumers, show how the market demand curve is derived from individual demand curves (a) for a private good and (b) for a public good. Once you have derived the market demand curve in each case, introduce a market supply curve and then show the optimal level of production.Draw a standard supply and demand diagram for televisions, and indicate the equilibrium price and output. a. Assuming that the production of televisions generates external costs, illustrate the effect of the producers being forced to pay a tax equal to the external costs generated, and indicate the equilibrium output. b. If instead of generating external costs, television production generates external benefits, illustrate the effect of the producers being given a subsidy equal to the external benefits generated, and indicate the equilibrium output.From an economic viewpoint, the optimal amount of pollution a. is zero because all pollution imposes costs on society. b. is that amount firms create when they maximize economic profits by setting their marginal private costs equal to market price. c. is that amount where the marginal social costs of producing a good precisely equals the price of the good. d.
