Below, you will define the terms common resource and Tragedy of the Commons. You will also determine whether different goods are rival and/or excludable, and whether they are common resources. Part 1: Complete the statement below. (is, is not) A common resource is a good that rival and (is, is not) excludable. Part 2: Complete the statement below. The Tragedy of the Commons is the very common problem that (under-consumed, over- (rival, common resources are consumed), because they are not excludable).

24. When a good or service is Non-Rival and Non-Excludable, it is is classified as a a) Private Good b) Externality e) Club Good d) Public Good 25. An economist reasons as follows: "Time spent at home taking care of a child is time not spent earning income, so the opportunity cost of having a child includes the potential wage earnings women give up by parenting." Assuming we agreed with this, and that women enjoy children (and/or invest in them to be taken care of in retirement), we would conclude that, all else equal: b) a) in societies were wages for women's work is low, women are likely to choose to have more babies. in societies were wages for women's work is low, women are likely to choose to have fewer babies. women have too many children in poor countries economists cannot make any predictions about the determinants of population growth. c) d) 26.

11. Let's imagine that we're holding this course in a classroom, and you have to commute to get on campus. You get up in the morning, drive to campus, stop at a local gas station to fill up, then go to class. You also have to pay some of your school bills on the same day. Which of your market transactions on this day produced negative externalities and which produced positive externalities? Explain your answers.
yn iru Suppose the government wants to reduce the total pollution emitted by three local firms. Currently, each firm is creating 4 units of pollution in the area, for a total of 12 pollution units. If the government wants to reduce total pollution in the area to 6 units, it can choose between the following two methods: Available Methods to Reduce Pollution 1. The government sets pollution standards using regulation. 2. The government allocates tradable pollution permits. Each firm faces different costs, so reducing pollution is more difficult for some firms than others. The following table shows the cost each firm faces to eliminate each unit of pollution. For each firm, assume that the cost of reducing pollution to zero (that is, eliminating all 4 units of pollution) is prohibitively expensive. Cost of Eliminating the...

In Unit 5, you are learning about negative externalities and environmental protection. One activity that qualifies for negative externalities is the poaching of animals in several countries throughout the world. You will analyze the topics of negative externalities and environmental protection by completing the learning journal. 1. Choose one of the approaches listed below on protecting elephants from poachers in African countries. A. The government sets up enormous national parks that have sufficient habitat for elephants to thrive and forbids all local people to enter the parks or to injure either the elephants or their habitat in any way. B. The government sets up national parks and designates ten villages around the park's edges as official tourist centers that become places where tourists can stay and bases for guided tours inside the national park. 2. Depending on the approach you have chosen (A or B), explain how the incentives will affect the local villagers, who are…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that every alcoholic drink consumed generates roughly $2 in external economic costs. 1. Explain whether the market for alcohol is best described as one with negative or positive externalities. Without any government intervention, is the quantity of alcohol traded too high or too low? 2. Briefly describe how you would model this externality in a supply and demand diagram (e.g. would you draw a social marginal cost curve or a social marginal benefit curve?). 4. Suppose you're advising Governor Holcomb on alcohol policy. Would the materials this week suggest a tax or a subsidy would be a good policy, and how much in dollars should the policy be?

a. According to Economist Vilfredo Pareto, a condition of ‘Pareto Optimality’, which refers to efficient allocation of natural resources such that no reallocation of resources of such could benefit any person without lowering the net benefits for at least one other person, cannot be attained in the presence of Externalities. Explain how externalities affect the condition of Pareto Optimality using suitable examples of each type of the externalities.
