In what ways (it) company investments in research and development create positive externalities?
Case: Despite 2015 Paris agreement, global carbon emissions increased 1.7 percent in 2017 and a further 2.7 percent in 2018; it has been estimated that the rate of increase in 2019 will be among the highest on record. The last four years have been the hottest on record, with 2019 on track to make it five. But analyses suggest that fast action now can reduce carbon emissions within 12 years and hold global increases below 2 degrees C and perhaps 1.5. Even though carbon emissions in The Gambia, Morocco and India are expected to rise, they’ll fall short of exceeding the 1.5-degree Celsius limit. But some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, and United States, are not trying hard enough. a. Explain the inefficiency in this case! Use graphics b. Why can't this problem be solved through market mechanisms as in private goods? c. Give possible public (global) solutions and private (global) solutions to this and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The climate policy toolkit has, to-date, mostly focused on demand side policies (i.e. policies that affect the pollution demand curve), some of which are ‘command-andcontrol’ and others are market based (e.g. cap-and-trade schemes, carbon taxes). (a) Explain what is meant by command-and-control in terms of a demand side climate change policy. What are the pros and cons of this as a policy option? (b) Using a diagram, explain how a carbon tax could help reduce pollution.
suppose you ar etrying to determine the aftereffects of hurricane Katrina on the economy of Louisiana. Which assumptions could be made to simplify the study? Note that not all statements may be placed. 1. consider the effects on all of Louisiana's interstate trade partnters 2. focus on just the crawfish-and catfish-farming industries in Louisiana 3. determin the effects while holding the infrastructure and factors of production constant 4. track the total net worth of the output produced by the state prior to the hurrican and after the hurricane 5. compare the change in prices for all goods
Can economics help us to understand, and deal with, the prospect of climate change dueto human activities?Your answer should include reference to at least three of the following aspects of theproblem:a) A carbon tax vs cap and tradeb) The UK’s legal commitment to reduce net carbon emissions to zero by 2050c) Assessing costs to future generationsd) Bargaining over climate changee) Environmental dynamics

Assume that Ghana has a Production Possibility Frontier given by: 500=5F+2C where F represents units of Food produced by Ghana, and C represents units of Clothing produced by Ghana. What is the opportunity cost of producing Food for Ghana? a) The opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of Food for Ghana is 2.5 (or 5/2) units of Clothing b) The opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of Food for Ghana is 0.4 (or 2/5) units of Clothing c) The opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of Food for Ghana is 1.5 (or 3/2) units of Clothing d) The opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of Food for Ghana is 0.66 (or 2/3) units of Clothing
A nation’s population size and the affluence of its citizenseach influence its resource consumption and environmentalimpact. As of 2013, the world’s population passed 7.1 billion,average per capita income was $11,690 per year, and the latest estimate for the world’s average ecological footprint was2.7 hectares (ha) per person. The sampling of data in the tablewill allow you to explore patterns in how population, affluence,and environmental impact are related. Draw a graph illustrating total impact (on the y axis) inrelation to affluence (on the x axis). What do the resultssuggest to you?
The problems with e.g."Acid rain" created by emissions of sulfur dioxide has been onemajor problem in Sweden, not least because emissions have occurred in other countries (eg England and Denmark) andthen transported here. Now assume that if one tonne of sulfur is emitted in England, it results in one (1) gram of sulfur deposition in Sweden. The corresponding deposit of one tonne of sulfur emissions in Denmark is assumed to be 3 grams. Suppose further that The socio-economic damage of one gram of sulfur deposit can be estimated at SEK 0.10.The marginal cost of reduce sulfur emissions in England is estimated at Z SEK per tonne, and in Denmark the equivalent is estimatedcost to 2Z SEK per tonne. Z indicates here the emission reduction in tonnes (eg in Denmark it would cost SEK 4 toreduce emissions by two tonnes). In other words, Z = 0 corresponds to the emission level where there is no reductionemissions occur. a) Suppose now that the European Union decides that Denmark and England…
