Chapter 8 in Tietenberg and Lewis looks at climate change, the most important environmental issue of our time. Economists generally agree that putting a price on carbon is the best approach to reducing climate warming carbon emissions. The two main strategies for doing this are carbon taxes and the cap and trade version of emissions trading. Discuss the pros and cons to these two approaches to pricing carbon. Why do economists favor these kinds of market-based strategies to pollution control over “command and control” approaches such technology standards?

- Economics: Public Economics Question: 1 Assume that the ave arms in the following table each throw 5 units of pollution into the environment every day. The cost of eliminating these units of pollution is given in table 2. Table 2 Using the table 2 above, suppose the Environmental Protection Agency decides that the optimal amount of pollution is only 15 tons. Instead of using the set standard method, the government sells 15 permits to pollute at a price of $439 each. Each permit allows the arm to pollute 1 ton.
