Explain. 37) Using a graph, show the effects of a negative externality. Where is the socially optimum point of output? How can it be achieved? Answer: No. The concept of externality is about the economic costs rather than the amount of externality. The economic costs or damages can vary across different locations so that the optimal tax on pollution should also vary from location to location, depending on the size of economic damages. 31.3 Pollution 1) Assuming that pollution cannot be removed from the environment at zero cost, the optimal level of pollution A) will be zero. B) will be negative. C) will be positive. D) cannot be determined. 2) As we approach total pollution abatement A) the marginal benefit to society declines.
