Consider the case of global environmental problems that spill across international borders as a prisoners dilemma of the sort studied in Monopolistic Competition and Oligopoly. Say that there are two countries, A and B. Each country can cheese whether to protect the environment, at a cost of 10, or not to protect it, at a cost of zero. If one country decides to protect the environment, there is a benefit of 16, but the benefit is divided equally between the two countries. If both countries decide to protect the environment, there is a benefit of 32, which is divided equally between the two centuries. In Table 12.10, fill in the costs, benefits, and total payoffs to the countries of the following decisions. Explain why, without some international agreement, they are likely to end up with neither country acting to protect the environment.

Under some conditions, command-and-control pollution standards could be just as good as a cap-and-trade program at bringing about a cost-effective allocation of total abatement responsibility across firms. Furthermore, the regulator could save the cost of running a cap-and-trade program. When would this most likely be the case? a.) If firms have very different technologies, are varying sizes, and there is a mix of older and newer plants, so it is safe to assume that the firms probably have very different marginal abatement cost curves. b.) If all firms have the same types of technologies, are about the same size, and have been in production for approximately the same length of time, so it is safe to assume that each firm’s abatement costs are similar, and the regulator can issue a one-size-fits-all standard. c.) If the regulator gathers detailed information about the technologies employed by every firm so it can figure out each firm’s marginal abatement cost curve. The…
Question 4: IBM faces two types of buyers for the printers they produce. High-valuation consumers (e..g. businesses) have a higher willingness to pay for quality (here printing speed as ppm) compared to low-valuation customers (e.g. households). We have that the total valuation for the high-valuation customers is TBH(q) = 509 – 192, where q is the printing speed (ppm) and the total valuation for the low-valuation customers is TB:(q) = 509 – 2. A printer of any quality q up 1 to q = 50 costs $250 to produce, independent of the actual speed, but producing a printer faster than q = 50 is impossible.a. Suppose that IBM can perfectly discriminate between the two groups of consumers. What quality is offered to each group? What is the maximum price that IBM can charge each group for the corresponding printer? b. Suppose that IBM cannot tell the two types of customers apart and must rely on consumer self-selection. Assuming that IBM chooses to offer two products of the qualities you derived in…
