The following graph contains benefit and cost information for current harvests from a fishery. D is the demand for harvested fish in the current period, MCC is the current marginal costs of harvesting and marketing the fish, and MUC is the marginal user cost of current harvests. 1.1 What is the dynamically efficient level of current harvests? [1 point] 1.2 What is the total natural resource rent for the dynamically efficient level of current harvests? [1 point] 1.3 Suppose that there are no restrictions on how many fishers can access the fishery or on how much each fisher can harvest. This makes the fishery an open access resource. Show how the resource rent is dissipated with open access to the fishery. Explain your answer. [2 points] 1.4 To confront the open-access problem, the government imposes a landing (harvest tax equal to t per unit of harvested fish. What is the level of the tax that induces the efficient level of current harvest? Explain how this tax motivates fishers to reduce their harvests. [2 points] 1.5 Explain how the government captures the entire natural resource rent with the efficient harvest tax. [2 points]
