Positive and Normative Economics
• Positive Economics explains “what is” without making judgments about the appropriateness of “what is.”
• Normative Economics: designed to formulate recommendations on what should be.

Normative Evaluation of Resource Use: The Efficiency Criterion
• Pareto Optimality• The efficiency criterion is satisfied
when resources are used over any given period of time in such a way as to make it impossible to increase the well-being of any one person without reducing the well-being of any other person.

Efficiency Resource Use
Assumptions• 2 inputs (capital and labor)• 2 outputs (food and clothing)

C = C(LC,KC)
Where • F = food production• C = clothing production
• Li = labor devoted to the production of good i

Productive Efficiency
• It is not possible to reallocate inputs to alternative uses in such a manner as to increase the output of any good without reducing the output of some alternative good.

Efficiency Criterion on Consumption and Production
MRSACF = MRSB
CF = MRTCF
![Page 17: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 2: Efficiency: Criterion and Government Public Finance](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033019/56649ef15503460f94c023b2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Interpretation of Efficiency Criterion Suppose we say that the “price of a unit of clothing is $1.” Then clothing is the same as “money.” We can then say that MRSA
CF is A’s willingness to substitute clothing for
money, which is their marginal benefit of clothing, MBAC. The same is true for B. If these
are equal to the MRTCF then this represents the capability of turning money into clothing
as well. Thus it reflects the costs of production. Lastly if there are no other people who gain from either A or B consuming clothing or food then:
MSB = MBAC = MBB
C = MSCC

Efficiency and Economic Institutions
Given the conditions for a market rendering a Pareto Optimal outcome in perfect markets:
C = PKK + PLL
then production of a particular amount of a good is efficient if the slope of the production function for each good is equal to the slope of the isocost line.

Pure Market Economy and Pareto Efficiency
Step 1
So far we know that PF = MCF and PC = MCC from perfect competition
dividing one by the other we get
It can be shown that this ratio of MCs is equal to MRT
PC MCC
PF MCF
=

Pure Market Economy and Pareto Efficiency Step 2
• MCF is the amount of other resources
that must be given up to produce more Food. We will denote this fact by saying:
MCF = DC.
• It is the forgone clothing to produce more Food.
• The same applies the other way around
MCC = DF.
![Page 23: Public Finance (MPA405) Dr. Khurrum S. Mughal. Lecture 2: Efficiency: Criterion and Government Public Finance](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033019/56649ef15503460f94c023b2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Pure Market Economy and Pareto Efficiency Step 3
Dividing these by each other we get:
