There are several instruments that allow the internalization of externalities such as the Standards, tax, cap and trade. Consider the case of 5 cement production plants and 5 power generation plants producing CO2 and SO4 in a given country. Please compare the three instruments mentioned above and their

CASE STUDY: DEMANUFACTURING OF COMPUTERS Let’s consider a case that deals with a timely and important issue concerning environmental economics. What are companies to do with all of the old computers that typically accumulate at their facilities? As one possible solution to this problem, a number of states and companies have jointly established “resource recovery” facilities to process the handling of old electronic equipment, such as used computers. Demanufacturing of computers involves disassembly, refurbishing, and either donatingor reselling the units. However, there are some residuals, or remaining components, that cannot be reused, are harmful to the environment, and contribute to the cost of demanufacturing. Let’s consider the case of one resource recovery center in the Northeast that currently handles approximately 2,000 computers per year. Of these computers, approximately 50% are refurbished and donated, 40% are remanufactured and resold, and 10% are “residuals.” What to do…
