ynamic Efficiency: Optimal resource allocation in a two-period problem The demand for a non-renewable resource is given by: MB = 10 – 0.5Q. The marginal cost of extraction is $2 per unit (MC = 2). Therefore, the Marginal Net Benefits Function (MB-MC) is given by MNB = 8-0.5Q Answer the following question: What is the condition that determines inter-temporal efficiency?

Question #2. Attached (below) is a diagram of a bio-economic model reflecting the relationships between the biological growth of a stock of fish and three different rates of harvest—H1, H2, and H3. In this model, dX/dt=F(X)—the change in the stock with respect to time and biomass— is captured in the parabola. Use the diagram to answer the following questions. On the diagram, the point A refers to a specific and important biological point on the growth curve. What is this point and what is its significance? On the diagram, the point B refers to a biologically important value. What is this value and what is its significance? Consider point C on the diagram. Assume that the stock of fish is just to the right of this point, but still to the left of B. Assume the harvest level is maintained at H3. Over time, what would happen to the stock of fish and the size of the harvest? Consider point D on the diagram. Assume the stock of fish is just to the right of D but still to the left…
Specify and explain the typical shapes of marginal-benefifit and marginal-cost curves. How are these curves used to determine the optimal allocation of resources to a particular product? If current output is such that marginal cost exceeds marginal benefifit, should more or fewer resources be allocated to this product? Explain.

Assume that Country A has an efficiency in output market. However, efficiency in the use of input production is not. Using graph(s), explain how the economy of Country A will adjust to achieve a desired equilibrium. What (is) are the condition(s) to achieve this equilibrium?
Question 3 The biological relationship between the growth for the fish population and the size of the fish population is g = 15S(1-S/5) where g is the growth of the fish population and S is the size of the population. The size of the harvest is a function of the amount of human effort expended b=3ES where E is the level of effort. Market price of fish per unit is $100 and a constant marginal cost of effort is $50. If we rewrite the sustainable harvest/catch level equation in terms of effort level, E, then we have b = [a]E - [b]E [c] 3 [None Given] [None Given] Specified Answer for: a Specified Answer for: b Specified Answer for: c
That the free flow of goods and capital creates economies of scale is not necessarily a good thing. Economies of scale encourage increased production which can lead to significant externalities, like pollution. Please provide a counter argument for the above statement
What is static efficiency? Illustrate your answer with the aid of a well-labelled diagram. What is the difference between static efficiency and dynamic/intertemporal efficiency? In your answer, make sure that you mention the condition that must be satisfied for static efficiency to be attained. Also, mention the condition that must be satisfied for dynamic/intertemporal efficiency to be attained. What is an open access resource? Give an example of an open access resource. Explain why open access often leads to inefficient allocations.
Suppose that the total benefit and total cost from a continuous activity are, respectively, given by the following equations: B(Q) = 100 + 36Q − 4Q2 and C(Q) =80 +12Q. (Note: MB(Q) = 36 − 8Q and MC(Q) = 12.) (Hint: Write down the Net benefit and marginal net benefit equations) What are the net benefits when Q = 1? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Every day around your tent you find eight branches and four cherries. You meet some otherstranded residents who have set up a small shop with a currency called Rings. You can buyand sell branches and cherries for five Rings each. What is the marginal rate of transformation at this shop? U(B, C) =B^(1/4)C^(3/4)
100 Game Free-Throw Percentage 80 70 Average Free Trow Percentage 60 50 40 20 10 GAME You can think of the result in any one game as being Paolo's marginal free-throw percentage. Based on your previous answer, you can deduce that when Paolo's marginal free-throw percentage is below the average, the average must be falling You can now apply this analysis to production costs. For a U-shaped average total cost curve, when the marginal cost curve is below the average total cost curve, the average total cost must be_rising v. Also, when the marginal cost curve is above the average total cost curve, the average total cost must be rising v . Therefore, the marginal cost curve intersects the average total cost curve at its maximum FREE-THROW PERCENTAGE
Which of the following is the best example of "what goods and services should be produced?" the production of army helicopters versus the production of new commercial jet aircraft O the manufacturing of computer workstations in Hong Kong or in Germany the use of a capital intensive versus a labor intensive process of manufacturing textiles the leasing versus the purchasing of new capital equipment
Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer.
