Consider the following scenario:
The city council has just approved the construction of a water park in your town. As city economist, you are responsible for studying the impact of the new water park on the local economy and the surrounding community.
Write a paper of approximately 500 words that addresses the questions below:
Your study shows that the water park will increase the traffic flow in the streets around the water park both day and night. There are both businesses and neighborhoods adjacent to the increased traffic flow. Your study estimates the social cost to the community to be $6 per person. What kind of externality is this? Why?
Graph the market for water park business, labeling the private value curve, both the private and the social-cost curves, the market equilibrium level of output before your study's results, and the efficient level of output after the social cost is included.
What is the per-unit amount of the externality?
Also, you know the water park will have events in the evening. This will increase both foot traffic and street traffic at night. You believe this will improve the safety of the surrounding businesses, with an estimated social benefit of $3 per water park attendee. What kind of externality is this? Why?
Create a second graph (that includes the first graph results) illustrating the market for water park business for these two externalities. Label the private value curve, the social-value curve, the market equilibrium level of output, and the FINAL efficient level of output.
What is the dollar amount of both externalities?
Discuss both government and private solutions that would result in an efficient outcome (the textbook has possible solutions to this question).
Submit graphs in either Word or PowerPoint. Answer the questions in Word only.
Format your paper using West Writing Style Handbook guidelines.
Include a minimum of two sources, which may consist of readings from the University Library, your text, and other selections.
