|
B) |
Subsidies lead to production of more than the efficient quantity of the good. | |
|
C) |
Quotas result in production of less than the efficient quantity of the good. | |
Public goods can be consumed by every member of a society, regardless of whether they paid for them or not. In a competitive market for public goods, fewer goods than the efficient quantity would be produced because it is not in each person’s interest to pay their share of the cost. |
