Next, we want to understand some of the mechanisms that can shape the behaviour of negotiators at the COP meetings For simplicity, consider two countries the US (U) and Fiji (F). Each country i € {U, F} can decide whether to impose a positive tax on the emissions of its polluting firms (T¿ > 0) or to impose no tax (7į = 0). Let's consider first the effect that the taxes on CO2 would have on emissions and on profitability. We can think of a representative firm that chooses whether to produce using a polluting technology (q = P) or a clean technology (q = C). The polluting technology generates profits of π(P) = 11 with certainty. The clean technology is new and comes with a risk of lowering profits. In particular, with probability & the profits with the clean technology will be π(C) = 12 but with probability the profits with that technology will be π(C) = 4. Assume that when the firm is indifferent between the two technologies, it chooses the clean technology. 1. 2. In the absence of…

"Since the occurrence of COVID-19 health crisis in Gaza in early 2020, severalexternalities existed during the partial, and complete economic lockdown."Answer the following questions:a. Define externalities.
Suppose that the world is comprised of two countries: X and Y. Because of the absence of centralized world governance, the control of global externalities is particularly challenging, which is the case with greenhouse gases linked to climate change. The entries in the following Payoff Table describe each country's well-being under different abatement patterns: X\Y No Abate Abate No Abate 12,12 24,8 Abate 8,24 20,20 Since according to scientific evidence, accumulated greenhouse emissions would progressively reduce global well-being, Business as Usual type of behavior may lead to catastrophic outcomes, raising questions about economic sustainability. Provide a definition of this concept and explain why commonly used measures of national economic performance like Gross Domestic Product and Net Domestic Product are not appropriate measures of sustainability. Using the concept of sustainability that you have defined, explain how the use of a non-renewable natural…
From the perspective of economists which statement is true: 1.) Benefits estimates for an environmental regulation that will reduce risks to human life probably should depend on the income levels of the people who will be affected by the regulation, despite political pressures to use the identical number for everyone, regardless of their income level. 2.)None of the other statements is correct. 3.) It is wrong to use willingness to pay as a measure of the benefits from a regulation to reduce environmental mortality risks. Rich people will be willing to pay more than poor people for the same reduction in risks. If the cost of the regulation is high, it is possible that the estimated net benefits from the project will be positive for a rich community but negative for a poor community, so only the rich community will get the protection. 4.) Suppose a specific type of environmental regulation, intended to reduce mortality risks, passes a benefit-cost test in the U.S. Then…
Suppose that a regulator plans regulate particulate matter (E) from two wood-fired pizza restaurants. The marginal damages from particulate matter are given by MD 5. The marginal abatement cost curves for the two restaurants are: Restaurant 1: MAC₁ = 10 - E₁ ► Restaurant 2: MAC₂ = 6-E2 1. What level of particulate matter will each restaurant emit in the absence of regulation? Illustrate the unregulated equilibrium on a graph. 2. Suppose that the regulator enacts a cap and trade system that caps total emissions at E = 8, and allocates E/2 permits to each restaurant. What would the market price for permits be in this case? Is the outcome efficient? If not, calculate the DWL from the cap and trade system. Illustrate the outcome with cap and trade on a graph. 3. Now suppose that the regulator instead enacts a pollution tax of 6 per unit of particulate matter emitted. Is this policy better for society? Why or why not?
Why is the national security argument not convincing?

Suppose that a small company is thinking of putting plants in their lobby for employees to view and enjoy. Since the plants are to be viewed by employees, the plants are non-excludable (it is infeasible to move a plant each time a specific individual walks by) and non-rival in consumption (if one worker looks at the plant, it does not prevent another from doing so as well). The company employs three workers: Robin, Alex, and Sharon. The company is thinking about buying up to three plants, and wants to know how much workers would enjoy each plant. For Robin, the first plant has a benefit of $47 per day, the second plant has a benefit of $37 per day, and the third plant has a benefit of $13 per day. For Alex, the first plant has a benefit of $41 per day, the second has a benefit of $28 per day, and the third has a benefit of $6 per day. For Sharon, the first plant has a benefit of $31 per day, the second has a benefit of $19 per day, and the third has a benefit of $2 per day. Given that…
13. There are two major department stores at the mall: Sears and JC Penny. They both benefit from the mall security patrol. Assume that the quantity of the mall patrol is Q units and that we can write down the marginal benefits and the total benefits provided by mall security for each store as: Sears: MPB_sears = 5 - 0.5Q Total Benefit_sears = 5Q - 0.25Q2 JC penny: MPB JC = 2 - 0.25Q Total Benefit_JC = 2Q - 0.125Q2 The marginal cost of hiring one additional unit of mall patrol is always $4. That is MC = 4. Answer the following questions: a. Assume Sears is the first department store in the mall. How many units of mall patrol will Sears choose to hire? What is the net benefit (its total benefit minus its total cost) to Sears of hiring this amount of mall security? b. Now JC Penny opens a store in the mall. Notice that the mall security patrols that Sears hired also benefit JC Penny. That is both stores can consume this mall security: mall security is not rival and also is not excludable…
