7. (Market for Pollution Rights) The graph in page 302 shows the market for pollution rights. a. If there are no restrictions on pollution, what amount isdischarged? b. What is the quantity supplied and the quantitydemanded if the government restricts the amount ofdischarge to Q* but gives the permits away? c. Where is market equilibrium if the government sells thepermits at the market-clearing price? Illustrate this on the graph.
On the attached graph:
1. Illustrate the marginal social benefit curve
2. Illustrate the area of deadweight loss
3. Identify the market Q and the socially optimal Q

The figure below shows the market for a chemical, of which the production causes certain negative externalities in the form of pollution. Define MCP = marginal private cost, MCS = marginal social cost, D = market demand, P = price, and Q = quantity.(a) If the market is competitive, what is the equilibrium price and quantity?(b) Is this equilibrium outcome socially optimal?(c) In terms of the areas denoted by A, B, and C, what is the deadweight loss to society if the market is competitive?(d) What can the government do to achieve the socially optimal level of pollution?

- Show the market for cigarettes in equilibrium, assuming that there are no laws banning smoking in public. Label the equilibrium private market price and quantity as Pm and Qm. Add whatever is needed to the model to show the impact of the negative externality from second-hand smoking. (Hint: In this case it is the consumers, not the sellers, who are creating the negative externality.) Label the social optimal output and price as Fe and Qe. On the graph, shade in the deadweight loss at the market output.arrow_forwardMost countries today have subsidised the provision of education. Consider an imaginary country, Gondolin. Gondolin pays a subsidy of $10 000 per year to each student enrolled in tertiary education ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Depict, with the help of a figure, the initial market for tertiary education in Gondolin, assume that: 1) education was left to the competitive free market; 2) the marginal private benefit is equal to the marginal social benefit; 3) the marginal private cost is equal to the marginal social cost. Now describe, using the help of the figure, the effect of the government subsidy on the price and quantity traded of tertiary education, where the X axis of the figure should be the quantity of students enrolled in tertiary education.

Illustrate the market for alcohol, labeling the demand curve, the social-value curve, the supply curve, the social-cost curve, the market equilibrium level of output, and the efficient level of output. b.) On your graph, shade the area corresponding to the deadweight loss of the market equilibrium. (Hint: The deadweight loss occurs because some units of alcohol are consumed for which the social cost exceeds the social value.) Explain.arrow_forward

- The following graph (see link below) represents the market for high-emission cars. Answer the following questions assuming that the externality is not internalised. - What is the social value of the last unit traded on the market? - What is the social cost of the last unit traded on the market? - Which quantity is socially optimal (what is the effecient quantity)? - What is the deadweight loss generated by the externality?arrow_forwardUse the graph attached below as a starting point (either download it or print it out). Add curves, labels, etc. to this graph in order to show the following: 1. Show that this good has a $4/unit negative externality (external cost), such as pollution. 2. Shade the area that represents the Deadweight Loss (lost gains from trade) caused by the external cost. 3. Show a tax or subsidy wedge (whichever you think is appropriate) that will solve the problem of the external cost. 4. Show the socially optimal level of production that the Pigouvian tax or subsidy above will help the market to achieve. You may use software or pencil and paper to complete this graph.
