4. Understanding different policy options to correct for negativeexternalities Carbon dioxide emissions have been linked to melting of sea ice. The following table lists some potential regulations targeting the amount of airborne carbon dioxide. For each policy listed, identify whether it is a command-and-control policy (regulation), tradable permit system, corrective subsidy, or corrective tax. Tradable Permit System Public Policy The government limits total carbon-dioxide emissions by all factories to 260,000 tons per five years. Each individual factory is given the right to emit 230 tons of carbon dioxide, and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen, so the government funds a tree-planting initiative by offering $440 to any citizen who plants a tree. The government orders every factory to adopt a new technology, which reduces carbon-dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The government charges…
10. Understanding different policy options to correct for negativeexternalities Carbon dioxide emissions have been linked to worsening climate conditions. The following table lists some possible public policies aimed at reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. For each policy listed, identify whether it is a command-and-control policy (regulation), tradable permit system, corrective subsidy, or corrective tax. Tradable Corrective Subsidy Command-and- Permit Corrective Public Policy Control Policy System Tax The government limits total carbon-dioxide emissions by all factories to 180,000 tons per decade. Each individual factory is given the right to emit 140 tons of carbon dioxide, and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen, so the government funds a tree-planting initiative by offering $110 to any citizen who plants a tree. The government charges factories $110 for every ton of carbon dioxide…

13. The marginal benefit of being able to emit a ton of sulfur dioxide emissions for two firms are given by: MBx = 1000 – (Ex / 2 ) MBY = 600 – (Ey / 3 ) Note that these marginal benefit figures can be interpreted as marginal cost of abating emission down to levels Ex and Ey. Government regulators want to reduce total sulfur dioxide emissions to a total of 1800 tons. a) If the government imposes the same standard of 900 tons maximum emissions on both firms what would be the total cost of abatement (calculated as the aggregated marginal benefits forgone)? b) If the government distributed 900 tradable pollution permits (one ton each) to each firm what would be the final allocation of these permits after the firms trade them? What would be the total cost of abatement in this latter case?
