Consider two firms (i.e., firms 1 & 2) with heterogeneous marginal abatement cost functions: MAC1=12 - 2E1 MAC2 =10 - E2 Assume the marginal external damages from emissions are: M E D = 1/2 E A . where EA is the sum of the two firms’ emissions. What quantity of emissions do firms produce in the absence of government intervention? What are the total external damages? What are the total abatement costs? Derive the aggregate marginal abatement cost function (Hint:...
