In a cap-and-trade program, as polluters buy and sell permits, they move to a situation where
Select one:
a. all firms’ marginal abatement costs are equal to the price of the permits
b. the total amount spent on permits is less than the total amount spent on abatement
c. total abatement costs are equal to the total amount spent on permits
d. the demand for permits will exceed the supply
Homework Answers
In cap and trade government decide the pollution level and decide how many permits to allocate. Polluters trade permit to pollute. the firm which can abate pollution with lower cost sell permit to the firm who need it. Polluters buy permit when the cost of permit less than abatement cost so that they can gain some revenue. Therefore option b is correct.

Joulutet 3. Assume that a firm has the following marginal benefit of pollution (denoted E for emissions, measured in tons): MB=150-5 E e. Now assume that instead the government allocates each firm permits to pollute equal to the total current pollution minus 12 tons, but allows the firms to trade. Which firm will purchase permits and which firm will sell permits? Hint: Notice that total pollution reduction of firm 1 plus firm 2 will be 24 tons. f. How much...

Suppose there are two firms and they pollute the environment. Their total abatement cost is given below. TC(R1)=1/2(R1)^2, TC(R2)=2/3(R2)^3/2 Suppose the government wants to reduce pollution by 12 units. 6. Now suppose that firms are allowed to sell and buy pollution permits from each other. In the absence of any permits, they need to reduce pollution by 6 units each. If the price of pollution permits is $2, how many pollution permits would Firm 1 buy? 7.Now suppose that firms...

Q.4. (45 Points) Suppose that under the Michigan’s voluntary emission trading program, the objective for the two major firms in an urban area is a 50 percent reduction in carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from 120 units to 60 units. Each firm face the following costs: Firm 1: TAC1=2000+0.6(A1) 2 MAC1=1.2A1 Firm 2: TAC2=1000+0.2(A2) 2 MAC2=0.4A2, where A1 and A2 represent the percentages of CO emission abatement achieved by Firm 1 and Firm 2, respectively, and TAC and MAC are measured...
Correcting for negative externalities - Regulation versus tradable permits
Suppose the government wants to reduce the total pollution emitted by three local firms. Currently, each firm is creating 4 units of pollution in the area, for a total of 12 pollution units. If the government wants to reduce total pollution in the area to 6 units, it can choose between the following two methods:Available Methods to Reduce Pollution1.The government sets pollution standards using regulation.2.The government allocates tradable pollution permits.Each firm faces different costs, so reducing pollution is more difficult...

Assume that a firm has the following marginal benefit of pollution (denoted E for emissions, measured in tons): MB=150-5E Q: How much would this firm pollute if pollution is unregulated? The government would like to reduce pollution from this amount by 12 tons and so implements a quantity constraint at the quantity in part (a) minus 12. What is the cost to this firm of reducing pollution by 12 tons? What tax would encourage this polluter to reduce pollution by...
