The government is considering two policies for reducing
pollution. One policy requires all firms to limit their pollution,
to a threshold determined by the government. An alternative policy
allows some a firm to exceed their threshold if another firm agrees
to reduce its pollution by the same amount.
True or false: The first policy (requiring all firms to stick
to their threshold) is economically more efficient than the second
policy (allowing firms to trade the rights to pollute).
