-If demand is really income inelastic ( e. g. coffin nails ) so ingestion would non greatly reduce- & gt ; possible for black market. If ingestion does stay the same so revenue enhancement is merely a manner for the authorities to fundamentally. take people’s money. -Leads to inflationary force per unit area
-Hard to make up one’s mind the degree of revenue enhancement as Impossible to work out exact value of negative outwardnesss. -In the instance of pollution it is peculiarly difficult as there would hold to be an understanding with other states about what to make with the revenue enhancement money. ( If the UK gov. receives money from pollution licenses. should some of this money go to other states who suffer from the affects of British pollution? -Some revenue enhancements merely make things less just e. g. Introducing a fat revenue enhancement would merely do it harder for poorer people to afford nutrient.
SUBSIDIES RATING 7/10
advantages:
-prices fall so the demand and ingestion of virtue goods/positive outwardnesss will increase = addition in economic public assistance – can do things more just e. g. Subsidizing healthy nutrients would do lower monetary values for the poorest in society. Disadvantages:

– correct degree of subsidy is hard to estimate – positive outwardnesss are difficult to cipher

BUFFER STOCKS RATING 4/10 advantages:
– Stable monetary values help keep manufacturers incomes
– Stable monetary values prevent extra monetary values for consumers
– Food supplies are assured
disadvantages:
In agribusiness more likely the authorities will hold to purchase than sell- really dearly-won to authorities as excess supply will hold to be stored – & gt ; milk lakes etc. e. g. In 1995 CAP was 58 % of the EU budget. Some goods can non be placed on buffer stocks e. g. A perishable good like milk. ( and most trade goods will die finally ) Regulatory capture- buffer stocks like the CAP favor husbandmans over consumers ; consumers have to pay more to subsidize for the public assistance of husbandmans. Increases inequality as poorer have to pay a higher per centum of their income on nutrient. If combined with a minimal monetary value this encourages inefficiency. Government failure when the authorities doesn’t have enough information to make up one’s mind the appropriate monetary value for the buffer stock to keep. If it is set at the incorrect monetary value this can harm consumers/producer public assistance.
MINIMUM PRICE RATING 6/10
advantages:
-Reduces ingestion of a demerit good e. g. Alcohol.
disadvantages:
extra supply common ; leads to butter mountains and milk lakes – & gt ; dearly-won to maintain stock. can be reasonably difficult to implement wholly efficaciously. E. g. Shop proprietors might acquire around the minimal monetary value with 2 for 1 offers.
MAXIMUM PRICE RATING 7/10
advantages:
-increases ingestion of a virtue good e. g. Education or healthy nutrient. -Can aid to cut down monopoly power and guarantee monopolies can’t exploit consumers with highly high monetary values and restricted end product. disadvantages:
Reduces handiness of supply and increases measure demanded significance there is extra demand i. e. More people will desire the virtue good but they won’t be able to buy it. So the maximal monetary value fails.
Correcting information failures RATING 9/10
advantages:
-Labelling and wellness runs and instruction etc. do people more cognizant of the benefits/costs of purchasing a certain merchandise. and take a batch of the asymmetric information between manufacturers and purchasers. -Growing consciousness of consumers of monetary values in the market encourages more competition disadvantages:
-Perfect information is still reasonably hard.
Provision OF PUBLIC GOODS 8/10
advantages:
-Provision of something that would be losing from the free market because of complete market failure. disadvantages:
-Deciding how to fund proviso can be hard. Progressive revenue enhancement or based on the benefits persons receive from public goods?
REGULATION AND CONTROL OF MONOPOLY POWER
advantages:
-Removal of barriers to entry encourages competition and means monopolies can non soak consumers -Maximum monetary values force monopolies non to bear down high monetary values and restrict end product. – Products are monitored to guarantee they have a sufficient quality e. g. Train companies have mulcts or are removed if the trains are frequently late. – nationalising inefficient markets like railroad can be good to guarantee natural economic systems of graduated table are taken advantage of. – the CC ( competition committee ) guarantee no amalgamations take topographic point that are against public involvement. Disadvantages:
– When monopolies do take advantage of economic systems of graduated table on their ain there is no demand for nationalization. – Competition isn’t ever a good thing- if barriers of entry were removed from the coach industry so competition would intend coach services wouldn’t range less profitable or less demanded topographic points.
