Identify the true, false, and uncertain arguments. Economists that favor tax cuts recommend them as a first line of defense during recessions.

(1) Given the fact that carbon tax of $75 a ton would raise electricity prices up to 50% and gas prices by 15-20% (as well as raising costs of production for most businesses), would you be in favor of such a tax? Explain why or why not.

Burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, and heating oil releases gases containing carbon into the atmosphere. These “greenhouse” gases are widely believed to contribute to global warming. To reduce this problem and raise tax revenues, many environmentalists and political leaders have proposed levying a carbon tax on the carbon content in fossil fuels. The first broad-based carbon taxes on fuels containing carbon (such as gasoline) were implemented in Finland and Sweden more than twenty years ago. Several European countries...

6. The negative Income tax Many economists believe that a more effective way to supplement the income of the poor is through a negative income tax. Under this scheme, everyone reports his or her Income to the government; individuals and families earning a higher income will pay a tax based on that income, while low-income Individuals and families receive a subsidy, or negative tax. Assume that the only qualification required to receive a tax credit is low income. Suppose the...

14. Let's compare a tariff (tax on imports) to an increase in money supply in the short term, assuming that both depreciate the currency. How do they differ in effects on welfare? Why do many economists believe there are restrictions on countries ability to use tariffs to expand domestic output that are not present in the original model? 15.

Media Analysis Question In today's economy, many sectors telecoms, cable TV, digital branches from social media to internet search, health insurance, pharmaceuticals, agro-business, and many more cannot be understood through the lens of competition. In these sectors, what competition exists is oligopolistic, not the "pure" competition depicted in textbooks. A few sectors can be defined as "price taking": firms are so small that they have no effect on market price. Agriculture is the clearest example, but government intervention in the...
