Diablo Valley College Social Benefits of Education Discussion

Externalities:

The market system allocates based on private demand and supply. In order to take into consideration the public costs and benefits we need to correct for those impacts and as a result:

• Increase the demand for goods which provide external benefits (through subsidies, low/no interest loans for education, scholarships, tax breaks etc…)
• Decrease the supply of good which create external costs (through taxation and banning certain products)

Education:

Private benefits of education:

= the additional income that you will have earned as compared to your earnings without your education
