ON A GRAPH: 2) Show MSC when there are NO spillover costs
(producer pays ALL costs) 3) Show what happens to S if there ARE spillover
costs (the producer can AVOID some costs) 4) Show the market P, Q, and efficiency WITH
spillover costs: RESULT: 2) Is there an OVERallocation of resources OR an
UNDERallocation of resources? 3) Without the government would TOO MUCH or TOO
LITTLE be produced? ROLE OF GOVERNMENT: 2) What are the three government policies to
correct for spillover costs? b. c. 3) On your graph show the effect of an increase in
the excise tax on gasoline 4) What happens to the quantity and allocative
efficiency when the government taxes a product whose
production has spillover costs?
1) Show S and D for a product (let's use
gasoline)
(assume D=MSB, i.e. no spillover benefits)
1) Does the market achieve allocative
efficiency when there are spillover costs?
1) When spillover costs are associated with a
product like gasoline what should the government try to
do to the QUANTITY -- INCREASE OR DECREASE it?
