When negative externalities exist in a market,
equilibrium price will be less than the efficient output.
equilibrium output will be less than the efficient output.
equilibrium output will be greater than the efficient output.
equilibrium output will be greater than the efficient price
Negative externalities create external Cost, so social marginal cost is higher than private marginal cost, resulting in (private) equilibrium output being greater than the (Socially) efficient output.
Option (3) is correct.

Question 1 When there are no externalities, competitive markets when left unregulated are efficient whereas taxed markets are not efficient. True O False True or False. When there are no externalities, competitive markets when left unregulated are efficient whereas markets served by one monopoly are not efficient. True O False When there are externalities, competitive markets when left unregulated are inefficient. True O False When a price ceiling is imposed and the price ceiling charges a price that is higher...
Explain why, in a market with negative externality, too much output (more than the efficient amount) is produced and sold and positive externality, too little output (less than the efficient amount) is produced and sold. If you use a diagram in your answer, make that diagram large and label all axes, curves, and points.

A free-rider problem exists when A. a private good is produced B. negative externalities exist C. people receive a benefit for which they do no need to pay D. firms impose a cost on third parties E. any market is in equilibrium
21. By including the costs from negative externalities imposed on society, an efficient level of output will be produced when: (a) marginal benefit equals opportunity cost. (b) marginal private benefit equals marginal private cost. (c) market demand equals marginal private cost. (d) marginal private cost equals marginal social cost. (e) marginal benefit equals marginal social cost. 22. What is NOT an example of a positive externality? (a) Improved educational outcomes in society. (b) Winning $1 million dollars at the casino...
In the presence of a “negative externality,” the free market would: Provide more than the efficient amount of the good Provide less than the efficient amount of the good Cause trade to take place at a price of $0 None of the above answers are correct
QUESTION 3 A monopolist produces_ than the socially efficient quantity of output and at a price than in a competitive market. less; lower O more; lower O more; higher less; higher
26. When intervention is needed to resolve negative externalities, economists typically favour market based mechanisms over command and control approaches because: (a) the market mechanism always produces an inefficient allocation of resources. (b) governments enforcing regulations make inefficient choices. (c) private firms allocate resources more efficiently than governments in situations where negative externalities exist. (d) countries with governments using command and control policies have always been shown to not produce the best outcome. (e) this addresses the problem of negative...
Suppose Price Control B is imposed as a price ceiling. Characterize the situation in the market by selecting all of the correct responses below: Price (S) Price Control B is O A. a binding price ceiling. O B. a non-binding price ceiling. When Price Control B is imposed as a price ceiling. O A. the quantity sold in the market will be equal to the equilibrium quantity OB. the quantity sold in the market will be less than the equilibrium...
Please provide a real world example of positive externalities and an example of negative externalities. For either case, is the government trying to address it? If so, how? Also, is the market for nicotine products efficient? (consider the assumptions of perfect information and no externalities).
