例題

2016/DSE/II/4

These years many customers like to take photos of the food they have in restaurants and share them on social media. However, some high-end restaurants do not allow their customers to take photos. Explain how the ‘’photo-taking-and-sharing’’ behaviour of the customers may involve externality.                                     (3 marks)

Marking scheme

Taking photos may disturb other people in the restaurants/sharing he photos in the social media may disclose the design of dishes. Both possibilities may have an undesirable effect on the revenue/profit of the restaurants, but such effects are not compensated (financially or otherwise) by the photo-takers. Such photo-taking-and-sharing behaviour may thus involve positive externality (external benefit is involved). (3)

OR

Taking photos and sharing them in social media may have a promotion effect., attracting more customers-bringing hinger revenue/profit to the restaurant, but the photo takers do not receive compensation for such benefits. such photo-taking-and-sharing behaviour may thus involve negative externality (external cost is involved). (3)

Positive externality

– There exists external benefit/is a divergence between private and social benefit/is a positive externality, with marginal social benefit greater than marginal private benefit.

-Marginal social benefit is greater than marginal social cost.

-The number of existing _____ is lower than the efficient level.

Negative externality

-Explain how the affecting party affect (negatively) the affected party without paying compensation to the affected party.

– There exists external cost/is a divergence between private and social cost/is a negative externality, with marginal social cost greater than marginal private cost.

-The number of existing _____ would exceed the efficient level.

例題

2017/DSE/II/4

Pokémon Go is popular game for which gamers need to move around different places with their smartphone to catch the cyber-pets. Its developer has placed hotpots in different areas where many gamers are attracted to gather. Some restaurants in remote areas found their business sharply increase as they are located near these hotpots.

a) Based on the above information, explain, in terms of externality, how the placing of the hotspots may result in inefficiency.                                                     (3 marks)

Advertisements

b)How may such a problem of inefficiency be relieved by market?                (2 marks)

Marking scheme

a) Positive externality. Restaurant in remote areas enjoy benefits from increased business due to the game developer’s choice of hotspots locations without paying the developer. So external benefit exists and marginal social benefit is greater than marginal social cost. The number of existing hotspots near the restaurants is lower than that required by the efficient level. (3)

b) The restaurants may pay the game developer to increase the hotspots nearby. (2)

OR

The game developer may charge the restaurants for placing more hotspots near them. (2)

Type 3: How efficiency improves?

答題flow

Positive externality

-Explain how the affecting party benefits the affected party without receiving compensation from the affected party.

– There exists external benefit/is a divergence between private and social benefit/is a positive externality, with marginal social benefit greater than marginal private benefit.

-Marginal social benefit is greater than marginal social cost.

-The number of existing _____ is lower than the efficient level.

-_____ (e.g., subsidisation) can increase the quantity of _____ towards the efficient level.

-This can narrow the gap between marginal social benefit and marginal social cost.

Negative externality

-Explain how the affecting party affect (negatively) the affected party without paying compensation to the affected party.

– There exists external cost/is a divergence between private and social cost/is a negative externality, with marginal social cost greater than marginal private cost.

– Marginal social cost is greater than marginal social benefit.

-The number of existing _____ would exceed the efficient level.

-_____ (e.g., taxation/charges/penalties) can reduce the quantity of _____ towards the efficient level.

-This can narrow the gap between marginal social benefit and marginal social cost.

例題

2019/DSE/II/4

Getting vaccinated is an effective way to prevent infection and protect oneself from flu viruses. Using the concept of externality, explain why the government provision of subsidy on Seasonal Influenza Vaccination (接種季節性流感疫苗) may improve economic efficiency.                                                                                      (4 marks)

Marking scheme

Getting vaccinated protects oneself as well as lowering the chances of others being infected by flu. Since the person receiving vaccination is not compensated by others (whose chances of being infected are reduced), there exists external benefit, with marginal social benefit exceeding marginal social cost. This implies that the number of people getting vaccinated is below the efficient level. Subsidy can increase the quantity of vaccination towards the efficient level and thus narrow the gap between marginal social benefit and marginal social cost. (4)
