Answer to Question 1

The government must determine the marginal social benefit and the marginal social cost of the common resource. By equating marginal social benefit to marginal social cost, the efficient use of a common resource is determined. A quota is set to this level of production. Producers are assigned a portion of this quota. As long as no one cheats on his or her quota, the efficient outcome occurs.

Answer to Question 2

C
