A policy has been implemented to control pollution from two
firms. The marginal cost of abatement for firm 1 is $5/ton at its
choice of emissions. The marginal cost of abatement for firm 2 is
$3/ton at its choice of emissions.
What is true about this policy?
This policy is optimal
This policy is inefficient because both firms should increase
their abatement
The policy is inefficient because firm 1 should increase its

Suppose the marginal cost of abatement for a airborne pollutant
is MC= 4X, where X is measured in tons, and the marginal benefit of
abatement is 500 - X. The maximum abatement (reducing pollution to
zero) is XMAX= 500.

abatement X* on the graph.
b) Calculate the efficient level of abatement X*
c) Suppose there is no abatement (X=0, which implies no actions
are made to remove...

Consider two polluting firms. The marginal cost of abatement
for firm 1 is MC1 =
e1 + 300, and the marginal cost of
abatement for firm 2 is MC2 =
3e2, where e1 and
e2 are the tons of pollution abatement by firms 1
and 2, respectively. Baseline pollution levels are
bl1 = 2000 and
bl2 = 2000.

4. Consider an industry with three firms. Firm 1’s marginal cost
of abatement (MCA)=20-2E1, where E is the tons of pollution
emitted. Firm 2’s MCA=10-E2. Firm 3’s MCA=40-2E3. Please draw a
diagram to support your answers to the following questions. If
there is no policy to reduce pollution, how much pollution will be
emitted by each firm? What will be total pollution? If the
government imposes a tax of $10/ton, how much pollution will be
