b. Compare the buyers' marginal benefit and the seller's marginal cost at the firm's profit maximizing level of output. The marginal benefit is reflected by the marginal revenue curve, so the marginal benefit is equal to the marginal cost. The socially optimal amount is produced. O reflected by the demand curve, so the marginal cost is greater than the marginal benefit. Society is expending too many resources on flu vaccines. reflected by the marginal cost curve, so the marginal benefit is greater than the marginal cost.

6. Consider an industry with three firms. Firm 1's marginal cost of abatement (MCA)=10-E₁, where E is the tons of pollution emitted. Firm 2's MCA-30-2E₂. Firm 3's MCA-30-E3. Please draw a diagram to support your answers to the following questions. If there is no policy to reduce pollution, how much pollution will be emitted by each firm? What will be total pollution? Hint: if there is no policy to reduce pollution, the price to pollute is zero. b. If the government imposes a tax of $10/ton, how much pollution will be emitted by each firm? How much pollution will be emitted in total? C. What will be the total cost of abatement? a. d. If the government imposes a limit on pollution, where the limit is the total amount of pollution you found in part b, and each firm is allowed to pollute an equal amount (i.e., each firm will be allowed to emit one third of the total amount allowed), what will be the total cost of abatement? e. Which policy is more efficient, the tax or the limit on…

1. Brazilian rain forests reduce global air pollution and support biodiversity. Rain forests are being cut down to support expanded production of beef for export to the US and other countries. 1. Concisely describe the market failure that leads Brazil to reduce the size of its rain forest. 2.Graph the market for beef in the US showing both the unregulated and efficient outcome. 3.In the efficient market, the negative externalities of deforestation are factored into the market price, which leads to a lower quantity of beef produced (Q2) and a higher price (P2) than in the unregulated market. 4.Explain how a tax on beef in the US would impact the price and quantity of beef and the quantity of air pollution. Graph the market for beef with a tax and discuss if/how efficiency changes after the tax. 5.A second proposal is to subsidize the development of meat substitutes (e.g. Beyond Beef, Impossible Meat, etc). Graph the impact of the entry of meat substitutes on the market for…
A. Economic profit is an indication that consumers are willing to pay more for a good or service being offered. True False B. An advantage of tradable permits over emission taxes is that no knowledge of marginal abatement costs is needed to ensure that the tax rate is optimal. the regulator sets the price of permits. the regulator does not have to determine how much to reduce pollution levels. the regulator must set the optimal tax rate.
