Scenario The government of the island nation of Autarka has become increasingly concerned about the health and wellbeing of low-income households. Medical experts stress the importance of a healthy diet in this regard. They have determined that, ideally, a household would consume at least 10kg of fresh fruit and vegetables each week. The government has proposed implementing a new voucher scheme to ensure that the 10kg per week consumption target is met. Under the government’s proposal, the vouchers would be redeemable for fresh fruit and vegetables, but could not be used for other types of food, or for non-food consumption. Moreover, to limit the cost of the voucher scheme, the value of the vouchers sent to a household would be linked to the household’s income. Community groups in Autarka have expressed concern that a voucher scheme is unnecessarily paternalistic; depriving low-income households of the choice of how to spend their income. These groups argue that the government’s…

Suppose a computer virus disables the nation's automatic teller machines, making withdrawals from bank accounts less convenient. As a result, people want to keep more cash on hand, increasing the demand for money. Assume the Fed does not change the money supply. According to the theory of liquidity preference, the interest rate will , which causes aggregate demand to . If instead the Fed wants to stabilize aggregate demand, it should the money supply by government bonds.
Question A team of environmental researchers is undertaking a comprehensive study to explore the relationship between car usage and air quality in cities of various sizes. The study focuses on PM2.5 levels, small particulate matters that significantly impact health and are often associated with vehicle emissions. To account for other factors that may affect air quality, the researchers include additional variables in their analysis. The amount of green space in each city is considered, recognizing its potential role in air purification and pollution reduction. Moreover, the study exam- ines the impact of environmental regulations, which vary across cities and can profoundly influence pollution levels through policy measures. The dataset for the study is comprehensive, encompassing a broad spectrum of cities, from densely populated metropolises to smaller towns. This diversity provides a rich context for analyzing how urban scale and characteristics interplay with vehicular emissions…

The climate policy toolkit has, to-date, mostly focused on demand side policies (i.e. policies that affect the pollution demand curve), some of which are ‘command-and control’ and others are market based (e.g. cap-and-trade schemes, carbon taxes). (a) Using a diagram or diagrams, explain how a cap-and-trade scheme could result in pollution reduction. (b) What is the Emissions Reduction Fund and what are its pros and cons? 1(c) Of the following four policy options, which one do you favour as a demandside policy and why? i. command-and-control in terms of a demand side climatechange ii. carbon tax iii. Emissions Reduction Fund iv. cap-and-trade scheme
