A local school administrator observes an increase in the number of flu cases in the public schools over the last two years. She

is concerned that some families cannot afford flu vaccine and are therefore not having children vaccinated. She is also concerned that the failure to vaccinate some children is putting other children at risk, so she proposes that the state subsidize vaccines to increase coverage rates. a. Determine whether the failure to vaccinate some children is an external benefit or an external cost. If an external cost is present, move point A and point B to show the marginal social cost curve. If an external benefit is present, move point A and point B to show the marginal social benefit curve. Place point C at the equilibrium outcome. Place point D at the socially optimal outcome. Measle vaccines Supply (marginal private col) Price Demand (marginal private benelit) Quantity b. From an efficiency perspective, subsidizing vaccines make sense because without the subsidy, the equilibrium quantity is the socially optimal quantity. The school nurse suggests publishing a list of which kids did not get a flu vaccine, in the hope that public shaming will lead people to vaccinate their children. c. The school nurse is hoping that social norms will act like a and lead the market to a outcome. d. What flaws might the school nurse's suggestion have? Select all that apply. Parents with immunocompromised children will know which students are not vaccinated and can take precautions to keep their kids safer by knowing if a student in their child's class is a potential carrier. People that feel passionate about not vaccinating are typically doing so for medical or religious reasons and will not sway to social norms or peer pressure. The school would potentially face a lawsuit because sharing protected health information (PHI), like immunization records, without parents' consent could be a violation depending on regulations of the state.

  1. It should be noted that the failure to vaccinate some children isn an external cost. [See the attached graph]
  2. The social cost curve is also indicated accordingly.
  3. From an efficiency perspective, subsidizing vaccines <em>does</em> make sense because, without the subsidy, the equilibrium quantity is <em>less</em> than the socially optimal quantity.
  4. The school nurse suggests publishing a list of which kids did not get a flu vaccine, in the hope that public shaming will lead people to vaccinate their children. The school nurse is hoping that social norms will act like a <em>punishment  </em>and lead the market to a<em> socially efficient </em>
  5. The flaws that the school nurse's suggestion have are:
  • People that feel passionate about not vaccinating are typically doing so for medical or religious reasons and will not sway to social norms or peer pressure. (Option B)

  • The school would potentially face a lawsuit because sharing protected health information (PHI), like immunization records, without parents' consent could be a violation depending on the regulations of the state. (Option C)

<h3>What is social Cost?</h3>

In neoclassical economics, the social cost is the total of the transaction's private costs plus the costs imposed on consumers as a result of being exposed to the process for which they are not rewarded or taxed.

In other words, it is the total of internal and external expenses.

viva [34]

Setting the pay according to the goals achieved by a group may not be considered beneficial to everyone, thus decreasing motivation. Pay-for-performance or according to individual performance may help motivate the employee but increasing individuality in terms of performance may also decrease group cohesiveness or group-related values. The speaker here shows depreciation by undervaluing another's work to overvalue or protect one's own.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The Capacity utilization rate is 73.94 units per hour for the month.

Explanation:

Provided data,

Output rate = 160 units per hour

In the month of July,

Total production hour = 295 hours.

Total units = 34900 units.

Ideal output units in the month of July = output rate × total production hour

= 160 × 295

= 47200 units.

Capacity utilization rate of production shop is given by,

Utilization rate = (output unit in July ÷ idea output) × 100

= (34900 ÷ 47200) × 100

= 0.7394 × 100

= 73.94 units per hour

So, the Capacity utilization rate is 73.94 units per hour for the month.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Diversification for pooling risks

Answer:

If by 2030 China became, as current data estimates, the world's largest economy, this would mean a series of global changes in macroeconomic matters: A) for the world trade system, China would become the main exporter given its huge population (estimated at 1.6 billion people) added to its economic capacity, which would flood the world markets with manufactured products in this country, increasing the fiscal surplus and employment for its inhabitants; furthermore, it would relegate many nations to being secondary producers; B) the monetary system would watch the emergence of the Renmimbi as a new reference currency, displacing the dollar and the euro from the center of the scene; C) Commodity prices would be determined according to the consumption and production needs of China, with which the products demanded in this country will have high value.
