For centuries, Alaskans relied on salmon and other freshwater fish for protein, oil, and other nutrients. But when jetliners began flying tourists who love fishing from Seattle to Anchorage in the 1950s, the stock of Alaskan salmon began falling. Following the advice of environmental scientists and economists, the Department of Fish and Game introduced restrictions on the minimum size (28 inches) and the number of salmon caught (5 per day). Among their concerns was the high fraction of young salmon caught before they could reproduce. a. Are Alaskan salmon a private good, public good, or a common resource?
b. How does the equilibrium quantity in the market compare to the socially optimal quantity of fish caught? Draw a graph.
c. What are two government policy interventions which could deal with this market failure?

Aprice ceiling is “binding” if the price ceiling is set below the equilibrium price. suppose that the equilibrium price is $5. if a price ceiling is set at $6, this will not affect the market in any way since $5 remains a legally allowable price (since $5 < $6). a price ceiling of $6 is called a “non-binding” price ceiling. on the other hand, if the price ceiling is set at $4, the price ceiling is “binding” because the natural equilibrium price is $5 but that is no longer allowed. what happens when there is a binding price ceiling? at a price below the equilibrium price, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. there is a shortage. normally, price increases eliminate shortages by increasing quantity supplied and decreasing quantity demanded. in this case, however, price increases are not allowed past the price ceiling. we therefore predict that the observed market price will be right at the price ceiling and there will be a permanent shortage. the observed quantity bought and sold will be dictated by the quantity supplied at the price ceiling. although consumers would like to buy more, there are no more units for sale
