Abatement cost measures the cost of reducing one more unit of pollution.means that it is a Marginal cost of reducing one more unit of emissions or pollution.For an example, if a firm want to reduce their pollution resulting from their production process, they will raise their Abatement cost. In these question,Only few countries abate or reduce their carbon emission. As a result firms need not to spend more on pollution or carbon control .So damage function also will increase. Marginal Abatement cost should be lower in such cases.
Answer: option one ( Marginal Abatement cost should be lower)

Efficiency through Emissions Taxes Consider two firms that emit a uniformly mixed air pollutant (e.g., carbon dioxide). The marginal abatement cost functions for Firm 1 and Firm 2 are (subscripts indicate firms): MAC1 = 100 - 2e1 MAC2 = 100 - 0.50e2 Aggregate emissions for the industry are denoted as E = e1 + e2. The marginal damage function is: MD = 0.40E [1] Write out the aggregate marginal abatement cost (AMAC) function for the industry. Hint: solve the MAC curves...

. A chemical factory’s emissions are harming villagers in the area by polluting their underground water and soil. The chemical factory has been found liable for damages to the villagers. We can prove that, by abating to the socially efficient level compared to any other level of emissions, the chemical factory can minimize its total payment i.e. its compensation to the villagers plus its total abatement cost. You will do this calculation by comparing total payment at the socially efficient...

Suppose that in the absence of any corrective measures, the economy generates 750 megatonnes (Mt) of GHG emissions (E) per year. The damage created by an additional Mt of emissions is called the marginal damage. Assume the marginal damage function is MD=0.04 E. Thus, if E= 750 Mt, the additional damage to society associated with one more Mt of emissions is $30. The marginal abatement cost, the additional cost associated with a one Mt reduction in emissions, is given as...
