Unit 4 - Chapter 19 Discussion O Available until Nov 21, 2021 11:59 PM. Access restricted after availability ends. The FTC is proposing a regulation that would hurt the sales of one of the products your company produces. The agency believes that there is a long-run consumer health issue that it should address. You estimate the regulation will cost your company $20 million a year in sales and $2 million a year in profits. The three other firms in the industry that make a similar product will also be hurt. Your Washington representative tells you that if all four firms are willing to spend $5 million in lobbying efforts, it can probably get Congress to kill the proposed regulation. All other firms agree to help foot the bill. This kind of lobbying is common. Should you pay to help get the regulation killed?

Under some conditions, command-and-control pollution standards could be just as good as a cap-and-trade program at bringing about a cost-effective allocation of total abatement responsibility across firms. Furthermore, the regulator could save the cost of running a cap-and-trade program. When would this most likely be the case? a.) If firms have very different technologies, are varying sizes, and there is a mix of older and newer plants, so it is safe to assume that the firms probably have very different marginal abatement cost curves. b.) If all firms have the same types of technologies, are about the same size, and have been in production for approximately the same length of time, so it is safe to assume that each firm’s abatement costs are similar, and the regulator can issue a one-size-fits-all standard. c.) If the regulator gathers detailed information about the technologies employed by every firm so it can figure out each firm’s marginal abatement cost curve. The…
