Construct a production possibilities curve for a hypothetical country. Put public capital goods per year on the vertical axis and consumer goods per year on the horizontal axis. Not shown directly in your graph, assume that this country produces just enough private capital per year to replace its depreciated capital. Assume further that this country is without public capital and is operating at point A where consumer goods are at a maximum. Based on the above research and using a production possibilities curve, show and explain what happens to this country’s private capital, production possibilities curve, and standard of living if it increases its output of public capital.

- Sweden is a very small yet wealthy country that has been recognized as the most sustainable country in the world. In 2016, the population of Sweden was 10 million, the total GDP was $515 billion, and the CO2 emissions were about 45 million tons. What was the greenhouse-gas intensity for Sweden in 2016? 1.1 x 105 tons/$GDP 1.1 x 102 tons/$GDP 8.7 x 10-5 tons CO2/$GDP 8.7 x 10-12 tons CO2arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true about the cost-benefit analysis of investments in public projects like education, health, etc.? [Select one] Group of answer choices Cost-benefit analysis of public investments in education and health is not necessary since people sufficiently invest in their health and education by themselves. In order to calculate the net present value of public investment, we should compare the opportunity costs of investments to the present value of future benefits. The cash and opportunity costs of sending children to schools is lower in developing countries than developed countries. In order to calculate the net present value of public investment, we should only worry about the cost that is incurred right now since we are not sure if and when the benefits will materialize.arrow_forwardMost governments are concerned about climate change. They have thus sought to negotiate an agreement to reduce carbon emissions. These negotiations have been difficult because governments disagree about who should bear the burden of reducing emissions. Suppose governments have the following preferences: Poor countries such as China and India believe that poor countries should not have to make further emissions cuts, while rich countries should make large cuts. The US believes that rich countries should not have to make further cuts, but that poor countries should make large cuts. The European Union (EU) would like both groups of countries to make large cuts. These ideal points are depicted in the two-dimensional space below. “SQ” is the status quo, and represents the emissions cuts that governments have already agreed to in prior climate negotiations.
