A. No, the cost of the pollution is not borne entirely by the producers or consumers of paper towels.
B. Consumption will be more than socially optimal even if the market is perfectly competitive. Because some of the costs of the production of paper towels are borne by people who may not consume paper towels the market price will be below the social cost. Ads |
