Abstract

In the present investigation, it analyzes the socioeconomic impact of negative externalities produced by the tanner sector in the canton of Ambato, finding the external cost caused by diseases, besides emphasizing two edges; in the first instance, carrying out primary research on individuals and families living around this type of industry, observing the effects that are harming and the social costs that tanneries produce; In the second instance, the segment as the main cause of externalities is also interviewed by technicians from these companies to know the type of chemicals used, and weighted in such a way that we know the impact it generates and observe the type of damage it causes environmental receivers; and thus quantify them and establish the cost in a social sense, in addition in this research is subject to the principles of welfare economics. The present project uses a process of analysis based on primary instruments to know the damage produced to the individual and environmental implications that is produced by leather production in tanneries. However, the total axis of the investigation is to evaluate the social cost versus the private marginal cost, to total the social cost produced taking as reference a mathematical equation and demonstrating the existence of negative externalities by production.
