3 greater consumption of alcohol leads to more motor

3. Greater consumption of alcohol leads to more motor vehicle accidents and, this,
imposes costs on people who do not drink and rive.
a. illustrate the market for alcohol, labeling the demand curve, the social-value curve,
the supply curve, the social-value curve, the supply curve, the social-value curve, the
market equilibrium level of output, and the efficient level of output.
b. On your graph, shade the area corresponding to the deadweight loss of the market
equilibrium. (Hint: The deadweight loss occurs because some units of alcohols are
consumed for which the social cost exceeds the social value.) Explain.

4. Many observers believe that the levels of pollution in our society are too high.
a. If society wishes to reduce overall pollution by a certain amount, why is it efficient to
have different amounts of reduction at different firms?
b. Command-and-control approaches often rely on uniform reductions among firms.
Why are thesis approaches generally unable to target the firms that should undertake
bigger reductions?
c. Economists are that appropriate corrective taxes or tradable pollution rights will
result in efficient pollution reduction. How do these approaches target the firms that
should undertake bigger reductions?
