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…
43. A city currently emits 16 million gallons (MG) of raw sewage into a lake that is beside the city. Table 12.13 shows the total costs (TC) in thousands of dollars of cleaning up the sewage to different levels, together with the total benefits (TB) of doing so. Benefits include environmental, recreational, health, and industrial benefits. TC TB 16 MG Current Current 12 MG 50 800 8 MG 150 1300 4 MG 500 1850 O MG 1200 2000 Table 12.13 a. Using the information in Table 12.13 calculate the marginal costs and marginal benefits of reducing sewage emissions for this city. b. What is the optimal level of sewage for this city? How can you tell?
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…
