a. negative externality
b. Positive externality
c. in which of the above would the market, if left alone, produce too much of the good?

Using a supply and demand diagram, demonstrate how a negative externality leads to market inefficiency. How might the government help to eliminate this inefficiency?
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
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.

1. For each of the following situations draw the Demand and Supply for a competitive market. Show the Social Marginal Benefit and Social Marginal Cost curves and explain whether the presence of the externality leads to a competitive market equilibrium with too much or too little production relative to the socially optimal outcome. (a) A negative externality associated with production. (b) A negative externality associated with consumption (c) A positive externality associated with consumption. 2. Consider a downward-sloping market demand...
1) A good that generates a negative externality is sold in a competitive market. Demand is defined by P(Q)=600-2Q and supply is defined by P(Q)=Q. The externality from production is E(Q)=0.5Q2. a)What is the quantity produced in the competitive equilibrium? Q= b)What is the price in the competitive equilibrium? P= c)What is consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium? CS= d)What is producer surplus in the competitive equilibrium? PS= e)What is the total value of the externality in the competitive equilibrium?...
57. The following figure shows the market supply and demand of a good whose production entails a $2 negative externality per unit. Refer to the figure above. A total of ________ units of this good will be traded in this market, at the price of ________. a. 20; $2 b. 60; $8 c. 40; $4 d. 80; $6 58. The following figure shows the market supply and demand of a good whose production entails a $2 negative externality per unit....
Question 39 (Mandatory) (5 points) An unregulated market is likely to produce too much of a good, compared with the socially optimal output, when A) negative externalities exist. OB) positive externalities exist. OC) benefits are given to individuals not directly involved in the transaction. D) all costs and benefits of production and consumption are reflected in the price of the product. Question 40 (Mandatory) (5 points) When firms leave a perfectly competitive market, then, other things equal, OA) market demand...
Consider the market for lithium. Using a single, fully-labelled demand and supply diagram, illustrate the combined demand and supply effects that have taken place in the lithium market over the past 3 years. Discuss the factors that have driven the changes to demand and supply and the effect on equilibrium price and quantity. [Note: You do not need to use actual data for this diagram and you can assume the market is competitive as assumed in Chapter 4 of Gans...
How would we incorporate the social benefits of a positive externality into a supply-and demand graph? a. Subtracting the benefits from the demand curve b. Adding the benefits to the supply curve c. Subtracting the benefits from the supply curve d. Adding the benefits to the demand curve
