Show the market for cigarettes in equilibrium, assuming that there are no laws banning smoking in public. Label the equilibrium private market price and quantity as Pm and Qm. Add whatever is needed to the model to show the impact of the negative externality from second-hand smoking. (Hint: In this case it is the consumers, not the sellers, who are creating the negative externality.) Label the social optimal output and price as Fe and Qe. On the graph, shade in the deadweight loss at the market output.
Some economists argue that early child care generates an external benefit to society. Consider the following supply-and-demand graph for early childhood education. A. How does the market equilibrium differ from what is best for society? B. If the government was going to provide a per-unit subsidy in this market in order to achieve the socially optimal outcome, how large of a subsidy would the government ne to provide? C. How much in total would the government need to spend in this market each month to achieve a socially optimal outcome? Price ($ per month) Supply $1,300 $1,200 $1,000 $900 Marginal social benefit Marginal private benefit (demand) 23 26 Quantity (millions per month)
11. The market for cigarettes in Chapel Hill is given by the following demand and supply curves, where Q is packs of cigarettes: P = 20-2QD and P= 2 + Qs Assume that each pack of cigarettes smoked imposes an external cost of $6/pack on others in the form of second hand smoke. a. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity of cigarettes. In an effort to decrease cigarette sales, the Chapel Hill city council has decided to impose a $4 tax on the buyers of cigarettes. b. What is the tax wedge? C. Sketch a graph showing the effect of the tax. Clearly label MPC, MSC, MPB, MSB, CS, PS, the tax revenue (TR), and DWL. d. Calculate PBUYER, PSELLER, and QTAX. I

Externalities: End of Chapter Problem In Chapter 6, we said that taxes create deadweight losses. When we tax goods with external costs, should we worry about deadweight losses? Why or why not? Any deadweight losses O should not conern us. Deadweight losses are the result of transactions that no longer occur and the problem with negative externalities is that too many transactions occur. O should concern us. If there is a negative externality associated with a good, the deadweight loss from a tax simply exacerbates society's welfare costs. from a tax are counter-productive. Why would we tax goods with negative externalities when the remedy for a negative externality is a subsidy? should concern us. Deadweight losses sound bad because they are bad; we should always avoid deadweight losses.

A) Figure 10-1 (above)- For the described negative externality, what is the market Price/Quantity combination without any efforts to correct the market? B) Figure 10-1 (above)- For the described negative externality, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity if the government imposes a tax to remedy the negative externality (don't use exact numbers)? C) For a negative externality, briefly explain why and how the governmentmay get involved in the market. In your response, provide an example (type of product or service).
