Readings

• Frank, R. H., & Bernanke, B. S. (2010). Principles of microeconomics, brief edition (2nd ed.). New York, NY:McGraw-Hill/Irwin.

o Chapter 9, "Externalities and Property Rights" (pp. 253-280)

Chapter 9 explores how many activities generate costs or benefits that accrue to people not directly involved in those activities. These costs or benefits are referred to as externalities. The chapter also covers how externalities affect resource allocation. In addition, the chapter covers how, because of an external reason affecting competitors, one person can get an advantage without an improvement in performance.

Focus on goods whose production generates a positive externality for consumers. Review the Coase theorem, which discusses how the situational inefficiencies resulting from externalities can be rearranged to create incentives for remedial actions.

o Chapter 10, "Using Economics to Make Better Policy Choices" (pp. 283-301)

Chapter 10 explores economic policies for dealing with specific problems in the environmental, safety, and health domains. The chapter also shows how careful application of basic economic principles can help society design policies that both expand the economic pie and make everyone's slice larger. In addition, this chapter investigates circumstances under which rational citizens may vest in the government the power to constrain their own behavior in various ways.

Focus on the cost-benefit principles and how they can help resolve trade-offs. Also, examine how the power that citizens vest in the government should be apportioned among local, state, and federal levels.
