- Briefly discuss the shortcomings of environmental command-and-control regulations.There are three identical firms in Happy Valley. Firms Initial Pollution Level Cost of Reducing Pollution by 1 unit A 30 units $20 B 40 units $30 C 20 units $10 The government wants to reduce total pollution to 60 units, so it gives each firm 20 tradable permits. Who sells permits and how many do they sell? Who buys permits and how many do they buy? Briefly explain why the sellers and buyers are each willing to do so? What is the total cost of pollution reduction in this situation? How much larger would the cost of pollution reduction be if the permits could not be traded?What is an environmental pollution
- K The graph illustrates the unregulated market for pesticide. When the factories produce pesticide, they also create waste which they dump into a lake on the outskirts of a small town. The marginal external cost of the dumped waste is equal to the marginal private cost of producing pesticide (that is, the marginal social cost of producing the pesticide is double the marginal private cost). What is the quantity of pesticide produced if no one owns the lake and what is the efficient quantity of pesticide? What is the deadweight loss? *** If no one owns the lake, the quantity of pesticide produced is 30 tons a week. The efficient quantity of pesticide is 20 tons a week. If no one owns the lake, the deadweight loss is $ >>> Answer to 2 decimal places. a week. 1260 1080- 900- 720- 540- 360- 180- 0- 0 Price (dollars per ton) | 4 S D 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 Quantity (tons of pesticide per week) Q PExplain why environmental pollution is regarded as a source of market failure. Briefly describe two different policies which a government might implement to reduce pollution.What are the four core concepts of environmental economics? Briefly discuss each concept.
- what are the corrective taxes? why do economists prefer them to regulate as a way to protect the environment from pollution?How do economists determine the optimal amount of pollution control?Use a graph to illustrate the quantity of pollution that would be emitted (a) after a corrective tax has been imposed and (b) after tradable pollution permits have been imposed. Could these two quantities ever be equivalent?
- 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?Which of the following is an example of an externality? (x) cigarette smoke that permeates an entire restaurant (y) a flu shot that prevents a student from transmitting the virus to her roommate (z) a beautiful flower garden outside of the local post office Select one or more: a.
