wo power plants operate in the same town. Each plant currently emits 7 tons of emissions per wear or 14 tons per year total. The town wishes to reduce emissions to 10 tons per year overall to achieve an abatement target of 4 tons per year. Power plant 1 has marginal abatement costs given by: MC₁-12-2A₁. Power plant 2 has marginal abatement costs given by: MC2 = 10-A₂ Suppose the government wished to cost-effectively achieve the abatement target using a Pigouvian Tax. What tax should the government set to do so? Assume the marginal benefits of abatement are zero.

- Suppose there are two power plants that release sulfur dioxide (SO2) into air at their current production levels. Each firm currently emits 75 tons per year, thus emitting 150 tons total. Local authorities have decided they would like to reduce annual SO2 pollution to 100 tons per year (thus a 50 ton reduction). The power plants have different marginal abatement costs given by the following equations: MAC1 = 3q1 + 5 MAC2 = 2q2 (a) Suppose the local authorities decide to impose a uniform reduction of pollution by both power plants. In order to achieve the 50 unit reduction under this plan, both plants must reduce their emissions (abate pollution) by 25 units each. Find the total cost of abatement under this uniform reduction policy. (b) Find the efficient abatement amount for each power plant if you wanted to achieve the 50 unit reduction at the most cost-efficient way possible (i.e. find the q1 and q2 that achieves the 50 unit reduction in the cheapest way). What is the total cost of…Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose there are two industries with MAC functions as follows: MACA = 240-3EA and MACB=160-2EB And suppose the local government wished to reduce the total industry emissions by 50% (from the uncontrolled level) by implementing a uniform standard. How much emission would be reduced and what would be the total abatement costs for each industry under this uniform standard?Part D E F needed b) Ana also reads that climate change is caused by carbon emissions from air travel. Two airlines run flights between two cities, Air A and Air B. The government has said that the airlines can produce 100 units of carbon emissions between them, under a carbon permit scheme, and should decide how to split the 100 units between them. Air A and Air B have the same operating costs and the same costs of reducing the amount of carbon that they produce per flight.Say Air A has been operating on the route for over 50 years and the government decides to give all the permits to Air A (based on its long use of the route). Air A offers a proportion R of the 100 units of permits to Air B and Air B can accept the offer or reject it and not fly on the route.• How will the other parameters of the model as discussed in this module affect the value of R* at which Air B accepts the offer?• Say that the government gives the permits to Air A for 5 years, and will gives them to Air B for…
- P = 500 - 4Q and the (inverse ) 2. Consider the market for automobiles Let the (inverse ) market demand function be market supply function be P = - 100 + 2Q Plot the demand and supply functions and show the market equilibrium Find the equilibrium output and price in this market and show it on your graph Consumption of automobiles (driving behavior of buyers) generate negative external effects on others in society because emissions associated with driving and any increase in the probability of automobile accidents (let us assume more cars on the road lead to a higher probability of automobile accidents). Assume that the marginal external loss/damage to society from the consumption of a car is worth $60. Using the information given above, construct the marginal social benefit and marginal social cost curves as necessary d. Now calculate the efficient number of cars that should be sold and bought in the market e. Identify the net efficiency loss to society from the market level of cars…Suppose the demand for standard sized bottled water in the US is Qd=120-30.5P where Qd is monthly quantity demanded in millions and P is the price per bottle in dollars and cents. If the marginal private cost (MPC) of producing the bottled water is one dollar, calculate the market equilibrium quantity. Explain what a constant marginal cost implies. Does that mean the total opportunity cost of producing bottled water is unrelated to how many are produced? Let’s assume that the marginal private benefit (MPB) of bottled water equals the marginal social benefit (MSB). Explain what that means. At the equilibrium calculated in part A, what do you know about buyers’ willingness to pay in each transaction?Please helo me with this question There are 50 residents that live in a small town in California. Each resident uses electricity and there is one power station that produces electricity for the residents from coal. Each residents' demand for electricity is Q = 10 - 2P and the supply function for the power plant is Q = 150P. For each unit of electricity that the power station produces, there is a corresponding release of pollution that leads to asthma and other health problems for the 50 residents. The marginal damage of each unit of electricity produced, per person, is $.05. a. What is the market equilibrium price and quantity per unit of electricity? b. What is the efficient Pigouvian tax per unit of pollution? c. The government of this small California town decides to impose the efficient Pigouvian per unit tax on the power station. What is the new social optimum price and quantity per unit of electricity? d. What is the government tax revenue? e. What is the gain in total…
- Consider an industry with two firms that emit a uniformly mixed air pollutant (e.g., carbon dioxide). The marginal abatement cost functions for Firm 1 and Firm 2 are: MAC1 = 100-e1 MAC2 = 100-4e2 Aggregate emissions for the industry are denoted as E = e1 + e2. [1] In an unregulated environment how many units of emissions does each firm emit? Firm 1’s unregulated level of emissions: Firm 2’s unregulated level of emissions: Total unregulated level of emissions: Suppose a regulator has a goal of reducing the total level of emissions from the amount from the amount you answered in [1] to 25 units. The regulator would like to achieve the goal of 25 units of total emissions in a cost-effective way. To do so it issues 25 permits, 10 are given to Firm 1 and 15 are given to Firm 2. A firm can only emit a unit of pollution if they have a permit for that unit, otherwise they must abate. After the permits are allocated, firms are allowed to buy or sell…The New York City Council is ready to vote on two billsthat authorize the construction of new roads in Manhattanand Brooklyn. If the two boroughs join forces, they can passboth bills, but neither borough by itself has enough powerto pass a bill. If a bill is passed, then it will cost the taxpayersof each borough $1 million, but if roads are built in aborough, the benefits to the borough are estimated to be $10million. The council votes on both bills simultaneously, andeach councilperson must vote on the bills without knowinghow anybody else will vote. Assuming that each boroughsupports its own bill, determine whether this game has anyequilibrium points. Is this game analogous to the Prisoner’sDilemma? Explain why or why not.Suppose the local authorities wanted to achieve a more drastic reduction in total pollution of 75 tons in the scenario described above. They want to do so via the introduction of a tradable pollution permits system whereby, each permit would allow a power plant to emit one ton of SO2 annually at no cost, but a power plant’s emissions may not exceed it’s permits. The authorities must will distribute 75 permits (to achieve the 150 - 75 = 75 ton reduction). Recall that prior to the policy, each plant is emitting 75 tons. (a) If the regulator issues 35 permits to firm 1 and 40 permits to firm 2, without trading, how much would each firm have to spend to comply with the regulation? Recall that each firm must abate the pollution for which they do not hold permits. i.e. q1 = 75 − p 1 where p 1 is the number of permits firm 1 has. (b) At this initial allocation, what is the marginal willingness to pay a permit for firm 1? What is the marginal willingness to accept to sell a permit for firm 2?…
