Most governments are concerned about climate change. They have thus sought to negotiate an agreement to reduce carbon emissions. These negotiations have been difficult because governments disagree about who should bear the burden of reducing emissions. Suppose governments have the following preferences: Poor countries such as China and India believe that poor countries should not have to make further emissions cuts, while rich countries should make large cuts. The US believes that rich countries should not have to make further cuts, but that poor countries should make large cuts. The European Union (EU) would like both groups of countries to make large cuts. These ideal points are depicted in the two-dimensional space below. “SQ” is the status quo, and represents the emissions cuts that governments have already agreed to in prior climate negotiations.

In 2020, a simple economy relied on three sectors: manufacturing, professional services, and agriculture: A total output of $165 of agriculture are produced. Of those, $100 are external demand, $20 go back to agriculture, $30 is sold to manufacturing, and $15 is sold to professional services. A total output of $90 of manufacturing services are produced. Of those, $35 are external demand, $15 go back to manufacturing, $10 are sold to agriculture, and $30 are sold to professional services. A total output of $60 of professional services are produced. Of those, $35 are external demand, none go back to professional services, $15 is sold to agriculture, and $10 to manufacturing services. Suppose in 2020, external demand changes: agriculture doubles in demand and manufacturing demand is reduced by 50%. What is the total production of each sector?

New energy policies would secure all jobs in the energy market. New energy policies are inexpensive and can be implemented easily.
