Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- 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.Draw a standard supply and demand diagram for televisions, and indicate the equilibrium price and output. a. Assuming that the production of televisions generates external costs, illustrate the effect of the producers being forced to pay a tax equal to the external costs generated, and indicate the equilibrium output. b. If instead of generating external costs, television production generates external benefits, illustrate the effect of the producers being given a subsidy equal to the external benefits generated, and indicate the equilibrium output.Is zero pollution possible under a marketable permits system? Why or why not?
- The perfectly competitive profit-maximizing firm in Exhibit 6 creates water and air pollution as a consequence of producing its output of pigs. If pollution costs are borne by third parties, the firm will maximize economic profit by choosing to a. voluntarily incur costs to reduce its pollution. b. produce at output rate Q3. c. produce at output rate Q2. d. produce at output rate Q4. EXHIBIT 6 Private and Social CostExplain why cost-effective pollution abatement is not necessarily equitable in 2-3 sentences.Attached is the marginal abatement costs of three firms, related to the quantity of emissions. Each firm is now emitting 10 tons per week, so total emissions are 30 tons per week. Suppose we wish to reduce emissions by 50 percent, to 15 tons per week. Compare the total cost of doing this: (a) with an equi-proportionate decrease in emissions (b) with a decrease that meets the equi-marginal principle.
- Firms in a polluting industry can be classified in two groups: newer firms with a cleaner technology that can abate pollution at a lower marginal cost MCLA = (1/2)aL and older firms with dirtier MCHA = aH, where ai is the level of abatement undertaken by firms of type i = L, H. The social marginal benefit of abating pollution from this particular industry is MBA= 120 - A, where A is the aggregate level of abatement in that industry. To design an efficient emissions standard, the government needs to determine which is the efficient abatement allocation (aL, aH). In order to do this, obtain a cost effective abatement allocation (aL, aH)that provides an aggregate abatement level A = aL + aH, and then proceed to determine the efficient level A (Hint: You should obtain that MCA = A=3)Firms in a polluting industry can be classified in two groups: newer Örms with a cleaner technology that can abate pollution at a lower marginal cost M CLA L = (1/2) aL and older Örms with dirtier M CAH = aH , where ai is the level of abatement undertaken by firms of type i = L,H. The social marginal benefit of abating pollution from this particular industry is MBA = 120 - A, where A is the aggregate level of abatement in that industry: (a) To design an efficient emissions standard, the government needs to determine which is the efficient abatement allocation (aL; aH ). In order to do this, obtain a cost e§ective abatement allocation (aL;aH) that provides an aggregate abatement level A = a*L , a*H and then proceed to determine the efficient level A * (Hint: You should obtain that MCA = A/3).Firms in a polluting industry can be classified in two groups: newer firms with a cleaner technology that can abate pollution at a lower marginal cost MCLA = (1/2)aL and older firms with dirtier MCHA = aH, where ai is the level of abatement undertaken by firms of type i = L, H. The social marginal benefit of abating pollution from this particular industry is MBA= 120 - A, where A is the aggregate level of abatement in that industry. Suppose that in order to avoid the costly obtention of disaggregate information about individual firms' costs, the government just implements a uniform standard aui = A* / 2. Is this allocation efficient? If not, what is the deadweight loss?
- You have the following supply and demand curves for an industry: QSX = -100 + 3 * PX for PX >= $40 QDX = 300 – 2 * PX However, this industry causes pollution damage to third parties. Each quantity produced creates pollution that causes equal damage, such that the marginal external cost is a constant $20 per unit (MEC= $20). a) Calculate the price quantity combinations for both the perfectly competitive and the efficient solution. Graphically show both solutions as well. Make sure you label all curves and axes. b) What efficient tax would move the competitive market to the efficient solution?Firms in a polluting industry can be classified in two groups: newer firms with a cleaner technology that can abate pollution at a lower marginal cost M CLA L = (1/2) aL and older Örms with dirtier M CAH = aH , where ai is the level of abatement undertaken by firms of type i = L,H.

The government wants to reduce total pollution by 80 units. For simplicity, ignore enforcement costs. The total and marginal abatement costs of each polluter are as follows: TAC1 = A1+1.5A12 TAC2 = 3A2 + A22 MAC1 = 1 + 3A1 MAC2 = 3+2A2 Suppose each firm is issued the same (equal) number of pollution permits designed in total to achieve the 80-unit reduction. What is the equilibrium quantity of abatement by firm 2? Question 10 options: 32.4 40 120 47.6
