I’m trying to study for my Economics course and I need some help to understand this question.
Your assignment is worth 5 pts, and each of the questions must have at least 200 words per answer
– Explain why the marginal cost of production must increased if the marginal product of the marginal resource is decreasing.
– Define productivity efficiency and allocative efficiency. What conditions must be met in order to achieve them?
– How is the demand for lumber affected by the demand for housing?
– Define market power, and then discuss the rationale for government regulation of firms with market power.
– Explain the difference between fixed-production technology and variable technology. Should the government set a goal of reducing the marginal social cost of pollution to zero in industries with-fixed production technology? Should they do that in industries with variable technology?
– What is the Lorenz curve? What does the Lorenz curve in Exhibit 2 illustrate?
