Federal Budget Finance Assingment Help With Solution

In each of the following circumstances, decide whether the impact of goverment on the economy increases or decreases and why. In each case, how does your answer compare to that given by standard measures of the size of government?
 
a. Normally, when employers offer health insurance benefits to their workers, these benefits extend to the spouses of the workers as well. Several years ago, San Francisco passed a law requiring firms that do business with the city to offer health and other benefits to both same- and opposite-sex unwed partners.
 
b. The federal government requires that automakers increase the average number of miles per gallon of the passenger vehicles they produce
 
c. The ratio of government purchases of goods and services to Gross Domestic Product falls.
 
d. The federal budget is brought into balance by reducing grants-in-aid to state and local governments.

 
1. Demonstrates the efficiency implications of using cap-and-trade versus an emissions fee when costs are higher than expected and marginal social benefits are inelastic. Figure 5.12 does the same thing under the assumption of elastic marginal social benefits. Now consider the case where marginal costs turn out to be lower than anticipated. For both cap-and-trade and an emissions fee, show whether there is too much or too little emissions reduction. Which approach is more efficient when marginal social benefits are inelastic and when they are elastic?
 
The private marginal benefit for commodity X is given by 10 — X, where X is the number of units consumed. The private marginal cost of producing X is constant at $5. For each unit of X produced, an external cost of $2 is imposed on members of society. In the absence of any government intervention, how much X is produced? What is the efficient level of production of X? What is the gain to society involved in moving from the inefficient to the efficient level of production? Suggest a Pigouvian tax that would lead to the efficient level. How much revenue would the tax raise?
