Some economists claim that grinding poverty and impatience impel people to strive for immediate gain, forgetting long-term environmental sustainability. You are an Environmental Economist in the Ministry of the Environment and Beautification in your local country, and you are tasked with holding a team meeting and the Chief Economist has given the following guidelines: II. two critiques (most recent) of the environmental Kuznets Curve. III. the importance of inter-generational equity and optimal depletion with regards to non-renewable resources.

. Some dissenting scientists at Environment Canada disagree with the estimate of $1.50 for theenvironmental externality. They believe that the incidence of the externality is not constant acrossdifferent levels of production; instead the size of the externality is proportional to the level of output.That is, the larger is the output, the larger is the externality. Their research suggests that the truesocial cost of cereal production diverges from private costs at every level of production by an amountequal to ten percent of production (note: ten percent, not ten percentage points).The government would like to know the economic effects of implementing a tax to internalise theexternality in this case.
