Answer to Question 1

Internalizing an externality refers to transferring the external benefit or cost to the producer or consumer that generates the externality. A Pigovian tax transfers a negative externality in production back to the producer, which reduces the supply of the product and results in an efficient level of output. A Pigovian subsidy transfers a positive externality in consumption back to the consumer, which increases the demand for the product and results in an efficient level of output.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
