- An increase in globalization has lead to an increase in pollution, and this is a problem because pollution is seen to be the classic example of a This is a that individuals impose on others but do not pay for. O negative externality, cost O possitive externality, benefit O negative externality, benefit O possitive externality, costwo firms, A and B, each currently dump 50 tonnes of chemicals into the local river. The government has decided to reduce the pollution and from now on will require a pollution permit for each tonne of pollution dumped into the river. It costs Firm A $100 for each tonne of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river, and it costs Firm B $50 for each tonne of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river. The government gives each firm 20 pollution permits. Government officials are not sure whether to allow the firms to buy or sell the pollution permits to each other. What is the total cost of reducing pollution if the firms are NOT allowed to buy and sell pollution permits from each other, and what is the total cost of reducing pollution if the firms ARE allowed to buy and sell permits from each other? A. $4500; $2500 B. $3000; $1500 C. $4500; $3500 D. $4500; $4000WHY SHOULD OTHER PECPLE BENEFIT FROM MY HARD WORK? 1994 Wateron De tyh e d Figure 1 Figure 1 shows how Calvin carefully avoids creating a positive externality (think of this as the equivalent of a factory applying a filter to eliminate any polluting emissions). Assume that this way of snow shovelling does not create any additional costs for Calvin (no extra effort and he has no plans to return home any time soon). b) As creating positive externalities leads to a social problem (see question a), and Calvin's way of snow shovelling avoids creating positive externalities, does Calvin's behaviour imply an efficiency improvement from a social point of view? Explain.
- The dry-cleaning industry is a major source of air pollution. Based on this information, which conclusion is the most likely to be true about the price and output of dry-cleaning services? O Because dry-cleaning does not have much demand, pollution is not affecting their demand. O Dry-cleaning is a complimentary good. O Dry-cleaners see it as less profitable to cause pollution. Because there are no financial consequences for the pollution, fixing it wouldn't be as profitable for dry-cleaners.Table 2 Imagine a small town in which only two residents, Lisa and Mark, own wells that produce sa drinking water. Each week Lisa and Mark work together to decide how many gallons of water to pump. They bring the water to town and sell it at whatever price the Time left 1:5 bear. To keep things simple, suppose that Lisa and Mark can pump as much water as they want without cost so that the marginal cost of water equals zero.
