Explain how the equi­marginal principle might be used to help you allocate your study time. 11. Discuss: “The crime associated with the drug trade is due to the illegality of the drugs, not due to drugs per se.

Define and give examples of psychic income and psychic costs and explain how they influence decision making.  20. Based on the equimarginal principle, do you think that a reallocation of the current government’s crime prevention budget could lead to a fall in crime rates?
