In the case of a positive externality:
The private market produces too much of the good
The market price is below the efficient price
Efficiency requires that the government impose a tax
Market price reflects the social costs of production
Efficiency requires that the government impose a subsidy
Efficiency requires that the government impose a subsidy
(When there is positive externality, then the private market produces too little of the good so subsidy should be given to increase the quantity and achieve efficiency.)
In the case of a positive externality: The private market produces too much of the good...

If the production of a good generates a positive externality, then: Multiple Choice production of the good is harmful. there will be deadweight loss at the market equilibrium quantity. total economic surplus will be maximized at the market equilibrium quantity. the government should tax producers of the good.
