- Economists sometimes shock noneconomists by stating that they do not favor the complete elimination of pollution. Explain the rationale for this position.From an economic viewpoint, the optimal amount of pollution a. is zero because all pollution imposes costs on society. b. is that amount firms create when they maximize economic profits by setting their marginal private costs equal to market price. c. is that amount where the marginal social costs of producing a good precisely equals the price of the good. d. Both answers b. and c. are correct.Suppose that a firm's marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is MAC = 16 - 2E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, then its marginal abatement cost function will become MAC = 8 - E. If the government raises the emissions tax from $2 to $3, then the benefits of adopting the new technologies increase by $____. (Hint: recall that the benefits from adopting new technologies are simply the difference in total compliance costs.) Please round your final answer to two decimal places if necessary. Answer is NOT 2. All information is provided

Answer is not 2Following are the marginal abatement costs of three firms . Suppose each firm is currently emitting 10 tons / week , so the total emissions are 30 tons / week . Suppose we wish to reduce total emissions by 50 % , to 15 tons per week . The following table provides marginal abatement costs for each firm . a ) What is the total cost if each firm cuts total emission by 50 % from their current levels . b ) What is the total cost if the total emissions decrease by 50 % ( to 15 tons per week ) that meets the equi - marginal principle . c ) From the society's point , which method of reducing ( a or b above ) emissions is better ? Provide a reason .Consider regions A and B. In region A, the marginal benefit associated with pollution cleanup is MB = 300 – 10Q, while in region B, the marginal benefit associated with pollution cleanup is MB = 200 – 4Q. Suppose that the marginal cost of cleanup is constant at $12 per What is the optimal level of pollution cleanup in each of the two regions?
- Consider the market for trees in a public park. These trees are a public good that give benefits to multiple groups of people, as described below. Each Marginal Willingness to Pay curve represents the aggregation of all the individuals in that group, and those groups make decisions collectively. Additionally, the cost of planting trees is given. Consider Q to be the number of trees in the park. Note that no one is ever worse off from additional trees. Arborists: MWTP = 2000 – 5Q Total WTP = 2000Q - 2.5Q2 Environmentalists: MWTP = 1500 – 10Q Total WTP = 1500Q – 5Q2 Casual Park Visitors: MWTP = 800 – 10Q Total WTP = 800Q – 5Q2 Park Haters: MWTP = 500 – 50Q Total WTP = 500Q – 25Q2 MC = 1400 Total Cost = 1400Q (a) If the government does not intervene into the market, how many trees will be planted? (b) What is the socially…A polluting firm’s marginal abatement cost is MACi = 50 – 0.25ei . If a regulator imposes a per-unit emissions tax of t = 10, what level of emissions does the firm choose under the tax? A polluting firm’s marginal abatement cost is MACi = 50 – 0.25ei . If a regulator imposes a per-unit emissions tax of t = 10, how many units did the firm abate relative to the unregulated environment?Suppose that a firm's marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is MAC = 12 - E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, then its marginal abatement cost function will become MAC = 6 - 0.5E. With an emissions tax of $4, the benefits of adopting the new technologies equal $____. Please round your final answer to two decimal places if necessary. THE ANSWER IS NOT 16 Maybe 4?
- In a cap-and-trade program that covers only two firms, suppose Firm A has linear marginal abatement costs that are twice as high as Firm B’s linear marginal abatement costs. Permits are handed out so that both firms need to reduce their emissions to meet their cap. With the initial allocation of permits, Firm A and Firm B are each required to do half of the total required abatement. Given this starting point: a.) Neither firm will be seeking to buy permits, because the initial allocation happens to be the least-cost allocation of abatement responsibility. b.) Firm A will be seeking to buy permits and Firm B will be willing to sell some. c.) Firm B will be seeking to buy permits and Firm A will be willing to sell some. d.)Both firms will be seeking to sell permits.If a firm can reduce its sulfur dioxide emissions for $30 per ton, but it owns tradable emissions permits that are selling for $40 per ton, what will the firm want to do if it is trying to maximize profits?Two identical firms save money from polluting. A firm’s marginal savings from emitting an amount e are given by 10 − 2e. The two firms differ in their impact on ambient pollution concentrations. Two units of emissions from firm 1 result in one unit of ambient pollution, while one unit of emissions from firm 2 results in one unit of ambient pollution. a) Initially the policy-maker decides to institute a standard cap and trade program instead of regulating ambient pollution. If each firm is initially given three emission permits, how many permits will each firm end up with and what will be the price? b) The policy-maker realizes the differences between the firms and de- cides to institute ambient pollution permit trading. What are the transfer coefficients for each of the firms? If instead each firm is given two ambient pollution permits and trading takes place, how much will each firm end up emitting, and what will be the price?
