Welfare Economics A Recap

To make our analysis concrete we will consider a specific market the market for aluminum. The supply and demand curves in the market for aluminum. The supply and demand curves contain important information about costs and benefits. The demand curve for aluminum reflects the value of aluminum to consumers as measured by the price they are willing to pay. At any given quantity the height of the demand curve shows the willingness to pay of the marginal buyer. In other words it shows the value to the consumer of the last unit of aluminum bought. Similarly the supply curve reflects the costs of producing aluminum. At any given quantity the height of the supply curve shows the costs of the marginal seller. In other words it shows the costs to the producer of the last unit of aluminum sold. In the absence of government intervention the price adjusts to balance the supply and demand for aluminum. The quantity produced and consumed in the market equilibrium. T

Externalities

Firms that make and sell paper also create as a a by-product of the manufacturing process a chemical called dioxin. Scientists believe that once   dioxin enters the environment it raises the population’s risk of cancer, birth defects and other health problems.   To use Adam Smith’s famous metaphor the invisible hand of the marketplace leads self-interested buyers and sellers in a market to maximize the total benefit that society derives from that market.  Market do many thing well but they do not do everything well. We examine why markets sometimes fail to allocate resources efficiently how government policies can potentially improve the market’s allocation and what kinds of policies are likely to work best. The market failures examined in fall under a general category called externalizes. An externality arises when a person engages in an activity that influences the well-being of a bystander and yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effe

TRADE AGREEMENTS AND THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION

A country can take one of two approaches free trade. It can take a unilateral approach and remove its trade restrictions on its own. This is the approach that Great Britain took in the 19 th century and that Chili and South Korea Have taken in recent years. Alternatively a country can take a multilateral approach and reduce its trade restrictions while other countries do the same. In other words it can bargain with its trading partners in an attempt to reduce trade restrictions around the world.
