- (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.arrow_forwardFrom 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. Both answers b. and c. are correct.arrow_forwardTrue/False Provision of public goods is the same as public productionarrow_forward
- True-False-Uncertain. Respond to following statements as True, False, Uncertain and justify your claim. According to the Coase Theorem, government intervention is needed to solve externalities. It always makes sense when a public good is financed by the government. If A is Pareto efficient and B is Pareto inefficient, A must be a Pareto improvement over B. According to Arrow’s impossibility theorem, a democratic society will always make consistent decisions.arrow_forwardTrue/False Road is a type of public good.arrow_forwardEducation provides both private benefits to those who receive it and broader social benefits for the economy as a whole. Think about the types of policies a government can follow to address the issue of positive spillovers in technology and then suggest a parallel set of policies that governments could follow for addressing positive externalities in education.arrow_forward
- True-False-Uncertain. Respond to following statements as True, False, Uncertain and justify your claim. Answers that do not provide justification will receive zero points. a) According to the Coase Theorem, government intervention is needed to solve externalities. b) It always makes sense when a public good is financed by the government. c) If A is Pareto efficient and B is Pareto inefficient, A must be a Pareto improvement over B.arrow_forwardTwo consumers, M and N, have the following demand curves M: PM = 24 – 2Q N: PN = 48 – 4Q Where PM and PN represent marginal willingness-to-pay values for M and N respectively. Q represents the quantity of output. (a) If M and N are the only consumers in the market and the product is a public good, obtain the market social benefit equation. Draw the two individual private benefits and the marginal social benefit curves in the same diagram.
