Answer to Question 1

A pecuniary externality occurs when a market transaction affects others through market prices. For example, if a large number of consumers decide to purchase a car, the price of the car will increase due to an increase in demand. This creates a pecuniary externality for other potential buyers of the car in the form of higher prices.

Answer to Question 2

D
