False
for socially optimal level of pollution, marginal damage has to be equal to marginal abatement cost.
when marginal damage is less than marginal abatement costs then firm should reduce pollution to the level where abatement cost is equal to marginal damage

Unit of Pollution Marginal Cost of damage Consider a scenario where there are 15 total units of pollution occurring within a given area. The per unit cost of damage increases by $3 each time pollution increases as the pollution gets ever closer to the absorptive capacity of the environment (see the table to the left). There are three sectors in this economy each contributing 5 units of pollution. Each firm could conceivably clean up this pollution; however due to differences...

Suppose that the Marginal Abatement Cost function and the Marginal Damage function for an industry are given as follows: MAC = 48 – 0.4e MD = 0.35e For simplicity here, we are assuming that they are linear. a. Graph the MAC and MD curves for this industry. Make sure you are marking out any and all relevant axis intercepts. b. If this industry is completely unregulated, what is the level of emissions? How did you get this number? c. What...

As society is near total pollution abatement O A. the marginal cost to society falls but then rises. O B. the marginal cost to society falls. O c. the marginal cost to society equals the marginal benefit to society. OD. the marginal cost to society rises. Technological change that makes it easier to produce in a "cleaner" fashion would cause O A. the marginal cost curve of pollution abatement to shift right, increasing the degree of air quality OB. the...

There are 2 factory which is firm A and Firm B. Firm A's pollution abatement cost is 2x3 and Firm B's pollution abatement cost is 2x2. The per unit benefit to a unit of pollution abatement is a constant $600. We decide that issue permit to produce pollution and allow them to trade it. However, politician determines that if they are unable to trade, firm A will be forced to reduce pollution by 100 units, and firm B reduce pollution...

You are a policy advisor responsible for air pollution in a region where there are only two chemical plants run by firm A and firm B. Firm A’s pollution abatement costs are 2x3, where x is a unit of pollution. Firm B is newer and has pollution abatement costs of 2x2. Assume that neither firm is initially abating pollution. The per-unit benefit to a unit of pollution abatement is a constant $600. ii. Suppose your boss, an elected politician, decides...

The Great Fracking Natural Gas company has just established a new well in the ranching community of Grassville, USA. It turns out that some of the chemical emissions used in the fracking process are contaminating the groundwater. The total damage to ranchers due to livestock losses from drinking the water is 50p2, where p is the level of pollution in this case. The total damage to families who must travel to town and purchase clean water each month is 300p2....

4. Production of a good in an industry leads to pollution/emissions as a by-product of the production process. Let E be the level of emissions. The marginal damages function is MD(E)5 + E. There are two firms in the industry. Firm 1 can reduce emissions according to the Marginal Abatement Cost function MAC1(E1) 20 - 2E1. Firm 2 has Marginal Abatement Cost function MAG(E-30-3E2. (a) Find the Marginal Abatement Costs for the industry. (b) Determine the socially optimal level of...
