9. 9. Suppose that a local airport is near a residential neighborhood. To land at this airport, an airliner must pay $53. To soundproof the local homes, so residents do not hear airplanes all hours of the day, residents must pay $50. What is the private cost for a plane to land at this airport? What is the external cost of a plane landing at the airport? 9. < Previous What is the social cost of a plane landing at the airport? Next X
Air pollution creates a negative externality—a cost suffered by a third party as a result of an economic transaction. A standard solution to a negative externality is a Pigouvian tax, a tax that raises the marginal private cost of pollution emissions to the level of the marginal social cost. The socially optimal quantity of pollution emissions is then determined by the intersection of the marginal private benefit, or demand, curve and the marginal social cost curve. The article notes that "putting a dollar value on the benefits of cleaner air has been difficult." Assuming this problem has been resolved, in the accompanying diagram, move the endpoints of line Smarginal social cost to show the marginal social cost curve. Then move the line labeled "Tax" to show the amount of the tax needed to limit emissions to the socially optimal level.

How Governments Address the Existence of Negative Externalities in Environmental Economic Markets?
5B. Two textile mills, located across a river from each other, are polluting the river. The marginal costs of pollution reduction for each firm are MCE₁ = 4E₁ + 4 MCE2 = 4/3E2 + 4/3, where E is the reduction in pollution from unregulated levels. The associated marginal social benefit is estimated to be MSB = 10-E, where E = E₁ + E₂. a. What is the socially optimal level of water-pollution reduction? c. If instead the government imposed a standard requiring each firm to equally reduce the level of pollution to achieve the socially optimal solution in part (i), what are the costs for each firm?
An emissions tax on a quantity of emissions from a firm is not a command-and-control approach to reducing pollution. Why?
Are socially efficient level of emission and market efficiency is equal? Explain with help of diagram?
No hand written solution Afirm has an industrial plant that emits pollutants into a town’s lake. The plant’s marginal abatement function is MAC= 200 – 0.5E and damages caused by its emissions are given by MD = 2E where emissions are in kg. per day. What is the socially efficient level of emissions from this plant? Illustrate this in a graph. As an incentive to reduce emissions to the socially efficient level, government offers to pay the firm for each kg. of emissions it abates per day from this plant. What subsidy per kg. should the government offer? If the plant abates to the socially efficient level of emissions, what total subsidy payment would the firm receive? Identify the area in your graph. How much better or worse off would the firm be compared to if it did no abating? Identify the area in your graph. What would be the net benefit to society if we pay the firm to reduce the plant’s emissions to the socially efficient level? Identify this area in your graph.

One way governments can charge firms for pollution rights is by imposing a per-unit tax on emissions. A tax (or price in this case) of $ of particulate matter emitted will achieve the desired level of pollution. ? per ton Now suppose the U.S. government does not know the demand curve for pollution and, therefore, cannot determine the optimal tax to achieve the desired level of pollution. Instead, it auctions off tradable pollution permits. Each permit entitles its owner to emit one ton of particulate matter per day. To achieve the socially optimal quantity of pollution, the government auctions off 120 million…

Can I get help asap please The figure below shows the market for a chemical, of which the production causes certain negative externalities in the form of pollution. Define MCP = marginal private cost, MCS = marginal social cost, D = market demand, P = price, and Q = quantity.(a) If the market is competitive, what is the equilibrium price and quantity?(b) Is this equilibrium outcome socially optimal?(c) In terms of the areas denoted by A, B, and C, what is the deadweight loss to society if the market is competitive?(d) What can the government do to achieve the socially optimal level of pollution?
