(i) Draw an illustrating example and demonstrate that there are no deadweight losses from a Pigovian tax, because social net benefits are increased rather than reduced by such taxes (assuming that the tax revenues are not wasted). (ii) Show that a tax on an externality generating activity that is too high (above Pigovian levels) will have a dead weight loss.
