Figure 4 shows that for any given demand curve forthe right to pollute, the government can achieve thesame outcome either by setting a price with a correctivetax or by setting a quantity with pollutionpermits. Suppose there is a sharp improvement in thetechnology for controlling pollution.a. Using graphs similar to those in Figure 4, illustratethe effect of this development on the demand forpollution rights.b. What is the effect on the price and quantity of pollutionunder each regulatory system? Explain.

The table below shows the demand for pollution permits to emit hydrocarbons in a particular industrial park. Each permit allows the owner to release one tonne of pollutants into the atmosphere. Price perPollution Permit Quantity of Permits $4,500 75 4,000 150 3,500 225 3,000 300 2,500 375 2,000 450 1,500 525 a. If no fee for a pollution permit were charged, how many tonnes of pollutants would be discharged into the atmosphere, assuming a straight-line demand curve? Quantity: tonnesb. Suppose government were to set a fee of $3,500 per pollution permit. How many tonnes of pollutants would now be dumped? What is the total revenue received by government? Quantity: tonnes Total revenue: $ c. Suppose that a new technology allows for a significant reduction in hydrocarbons at a relatively low cost so that the demand for pollution permits in the industrial park drops by 150 tonnes. Assuming that government holds the permit fee at $3,500, how many tonnes of…

The rows in Table 12.7 show three market-oriented tools for reducing pollution. The columns of the table show three complaints about command-and-control regulation. Fill in the table by stating briefly how each market-oriented tool addresses each of the three concerns.
Show the market for cigarettes in equilibrium, assuming that there are no laws banning smoking in public. Label the equilibrium private market price and quantity as Pm and Qm. Add whatever is needed to the model to show the impact of the negative externality from second-hand smoking. (Hint: In this case it is the consumers, not the sellers, who are creating the negative externality.) Label the social optimal output and price as Fe and Qe. On the graph, shade in the deadweight loss at the market output.
A local drama company proposes a new neighbourhood theatre in Vancouver. Before approving thebuilding permit, the city planner completes a study of the theatre’s impact on the surroundingcommunity.a. One finding of the study is that theatres play very loud music, which adversely affects thecommunity. The city planner estimates that the cost to the community from the extra traffic is$7 per ticket. What kind of an externality is this? Why?b. Graph the market for theatre tickets, labelling the demand curve, the social-value curve, thesupply curve, the social-cost curve, the market equilibrium level of output, and the efficient levelof output. Also show the per-unit amount of the externality. c. On further review, the city planner uncovers a second externality. Rehearsals for the plays tendto run until late at night, with actors, stagehands, and other theatre members coming and goingat various hours. The planner has found that the increased foot traffic improves the safety of…
