This document discusses government interventions in markets. It summarizes that without intervention, a market will produce at the quantity where price equals marginal cost, resulting in producer surplus but possibly underproducing. With a price floor, there will be a surplus but with a price ceiling there will be a shortage. It also discusses indirect taxes, subsidies, and how they can internalize externalities to achieve allocative efficiency.
