a strongly competitive market.
a somewhat competitive market.
oligopolistic.
monopolistic.
8. Oligopolies are industries: 
dominated by one seller who shares market power equally with all other sellers.
made up of few firms, each with some market power and therefore aware of their interdependence with the other firms.
composed of many buyer and sellers, all of whom are price-takers.
that are the same as monopolistically competitive industries except that they sell a standardized product.
9.The existence of a buyer with significant buying power in an industry would make a tacit agreement:

easier to achieve.
have no effect on tacit agreement negotiations.

does not have to worry about losses.
recognizes that the market is relatively stable in size.
11.Monopolistically competitive firms: 
engage in collusive activity in order to maximize profit.
are very similar to perfect competitors in producing at the minimum ATC.
earn a positive economic profit if price is greater than ATC.
will set price where MC > MR.
12.Monopolistic competitors: 
have some ability to set price.
must accept the price as given and therefore are price-takers.
produce goods that are standardized and hard to differentiate.
eventually produce at their minimum ATC at the profit-maximizing level.

marginal cost is less than his marginal revenue.
price equals his average total cost.
price is more than his average total cost.
15.An emissions tax will: 
ensure that the marginal benefit of pollution is equal for all sources of pollution.
set standards to which all producers must adhere regardless of their production costs.
be the same for all polluters.
increase pollution, but not in the most efficient cost-saving method.
16.In order to encourage consumption of a good that generates positive externalities, policymakers would: 
impose a tax on the amount currently consumed in order to achieve the socially optimal level.
mandate consumption of the good at the socially optimal level.
provide a subsidy per unit of the good consumed in order to achieve the socially optimal level.
do nothing, since the market will achieve the socially optimal level without government intervention.
17.Marginal social benefit of pollution: 
increases as more pollution is emitted.
equals zero when the social optimal quantity of pollution is produced.
equals the marginal social cost of pollution in all markets at equilibrium.
is the benefit to society of one more unit of pollution.
18.The Coase theorem states that in the presence of externalities, a market economy will: 
always reach an efficient solution.
never reach an efficient solution.
reach an efficient solution if transaction costs are sufficiently low.
reach an efficient solution only in the case of government regulation.
19.Suppose each person in a community had to pay for his or her own education from kindergarten through high school. One would expect that: 
less education would be acquired since society has not considered the positive external benefits of education.
more education would be acquired since society has not considered the positive external benefits of education.
the optimal amount of education would be acquired by community members since they each paid for the amount of education they wanted.
a Pigouvian tax would ensure the optimal amount of education.
