Two coal-burning electric power plants are emitting mercury which impairs cognitive development in children. Plant A's marginal abatement cost is MCA= 1.2q and plant B's marginal abatement cost is MCB = 0.3q. Each firm initially emits 50 units and the EPA would like to reduce total emissions to 40. If the EPA follows a command-and-control policy and tells each firm to abate by the same amount, what will be the total costs? If firms could trade permits, what would happen to total costs? Why?
