How do human activities such as tourism and fishing impact Bahamian ecosystems? 

Consider a partial equilibrium economy with utility function U(m, q) = m + q^(1/3), production function f(x) = x^(1/4), cost function C(q) = q^4, and marginal cost MC(q) = 4q^3. The ND-monopolist sets MR(q) = MC(q), i.e., (1/9)q^(-2/3) = 4q^3. Solving this equation, which equation must the monopoly quantity q*_M satisfy?

The marginal revenue MR(q) of a ND-monopolist equals dP/dq * q + P(q). The term (dP/dq)*q is negative (when demand is downward sloping) because:

Consider a partial equilibrium economy with utility function U(m, q) = m + q^(1/3), production function f(x) = x^(1/4), and cost function C(q) = q^4. The MS at the competitive equilibrium is MS(q*_c) = (1/12)^(1/11) – (1/12)^(12/11) approximately 0.7374, and the MS at the ND-monopoly outcome is MS(q*_M) = (1/36)^(1/11) – (1/36)^(12/11) approximately 0.7198. The Deadweight Loss from ND-monopoly, DWL(q*_M) = MS(q*_c) – MS(q*_M), is approximately:

Compare and contrast two anthropogenic environmental impacts we discussed in the field to regions of Appalachia learned about during the field course. These can be historic and/or current impacts.
