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?

1. Show that this good has a $4/unit negative externality (external cost), such as pollution.
2. Shade the area that represents the Deadweight Loss (lost gains from trade) caused by the external cost.
3. Show a tax or subsidy wedge (whichever you think is appropriate) that will solve the problem of the external cost.
4. Show the socially optimal level of production that the Pigouvian tax or subsidy above will help the market to achieve.
