...Assignment 2: Externalities ECO 405 Prof Bergan August 11, 2013 An externality is something that, while it does not monetarily affect the producer of a good, does influence the standard of living of society as a whole (Kelly, Krugman, & Robin, 2008 ).There are two types of externalities positive and negative both play important roles in our everyday living. When there is a cost of externality than that is considered negative and when there is a benefit of an externality it is considered a positive externality. Positive externality is defined as benefits that accrue to third parties not involved in an economic activity. These benefits can be passed on due to either the consumption or production of a commodity by society (Kelly, Krugman, & Robin, 2008 ). Negative externalities are costs that third parties have to bear when a good is consumed or produced. Environmental cleanup can be considered as positive externalities. When the environment is clean we all benefit as a society but do not increase profits for the company responsible for it. Likewise, research and new technological developments create gains on which the company responsible for them cannot fully capitalize. Another positive externality is education when people are getting a better education this is a benefit for the country as a whole as more foreign direct investments will flow into the country.

...LINUX: Rute User’s Tutorial and Exposition Paul Sheer August 14, 2001 Pages up to and including this page are not included by Prentice Hall. 2 “The reason we don’t sell billions and billions of Guides,” continued Harl, after wiping his mouth, “is the expense. What we do is we sell one Guide billions and billions of times. We exploit the multidimensional nature of the Universe to cut down on manufacturing costs. And we don’t sell to penniless hitchhikers. What a stupid notion that was! Find the one section of the market that, more or less by definition, doesn’t have any money, and try to sell to it. No. We sell to the affluent business traveler and his vacationing wife in a billion, billion different futures. This is the most radical, dynamic and thrusting business venture in the entire multidimensional infinity of space-time-probability ever.” ... Ford was completely at a loss for what to do next. “Look,” he said in a stern voice. But he wasn’t certain how far saying things like “Look” in a stern voice was necessarily going to get him, and time was not on his side. What the hell, he thought, you’re only young once, and threw himself out of the window. That would at least keep the element of surprise on his side. ... In a spirit of scientific inquiry he hurled himself out of the window again. Douglas Adams Mostly Harmless Strangely, the thing that least intrigued me was how they’d managed to get it all done. I suppose I sort of knew. If I’d learned...
