- Given the same marginal damage and same marginal abatement cost curve, the socially efficient emission subsidy is the same magnitude (dollars per ton) as the socially efficient emission tax (dollars per ton). True False NextSuppose the marginal benefit (MB) and marginal cost (MC) curves for emitting particulate matter are given by the following schedules, where E is the quantity of emissions per period. The marginal benefits and costs are measured at the quantities of emissions shown. E/Period MB ($ MC ($) 0 230 0 200 190 10 400 150 30 600 110 50 800 70 70 1000 30 90 Use the information above to calculate the tax rate that would achieve the efficient rate of emissions. Efficient Tax Rate =$__ per unit of pollution3. Suppose the EPA wants to reduce pollution to the socially optimal level. Based on the data in the table below, what is the optimal level of pollution? Total cleanup Total Total (tons) Benefit Cost 50 2 85 18 3 115 28 4 140 39 5 160 51 179 63 7 197 76 8 214 90 230 105 10 245 120 11 259 137 12 273 156 13 286 177 14 299 200 15 311 225
- The EPA determined the presence of a public health and ecological damage externality cost in dollars of MEC=0.020 associated with Q units of nitrogen oxides output of a chemical process per month.There was no evidence of external benefit. The marginal social benefit was estimated as MSB=50-0.4Q and the marginal social cost as MSC=2+ 0.4Q mpenveo What is the socially conscious solution?Consider a lake found in the town of Center Barnstead, and then answer the questions that follow. The town has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the campground's economic profit. Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the campground would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $1,500 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,800 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $2,000 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,000 per week. These figures are summarized…Consider two firms with the following marginal abatement costs (MAC) as a function of emissions (E): MAC_1 = 12-.5E_1 MAC_2 = 12-E_2, and assume marginal external damages (MED) from the aggregate emissions of both firms (E_Agg = E_1 + E_2) is: MED = (1/3)E_Agg. To achieve the socially efficient level of aggregate emissions (E*_Agg), the government institutes a per unit tax on emissions. The per- unit tax on emissions is $ Answer:
- (a) A magician recorded his magic show and broadcast it freely in internet. How would you classify the show with reference to rivalrous and excludability? (b) There are two online magic show enthusiasts, A and B in the market. Their demand functions are QA = 5 – 0.25PA and QB = 15 – 0.5PB respectively. Explain the method to obtain the market demand function for magic show which are freely available online. (c) Draw the marginal social benefit curve for online magic show. (d) If a magician produces magic show and broadcast online to both individuals at a constant marginal cost of $20, what is the market equilibrium quantity and price of online magic shows?Please, Provide an Explanation for the Ranges/Point in the Follow (Encircled Below in Red. What Do the Ranges/Point Refer To & H They Calculated?) With Z representing the Level of Mitigation (Z): Marshland, MB = 3-Z Dampland, MB=4-2Z Wetland, MB 11-Z The Marginal Cost of Flood Mitigation (MC): MC=2+12Z a. What is the Socially Optimal Level of Z(Zopt)? Answer: From 0-2 MSB = [(3- Z)+(4- 2Z) + (11- Z)] = [(3+ 4+ 11)-(Z+2Z+Z)] = 18-4Z From 2-3 MSB=(3- Z) + (11- Z) = [(3 + 11)-(Z+Z)] = 14-2Z From 3-10-MSB = 11 - Z @11MSB=0D7) Why is congestion treated as an externality in Urban Economics?
- ter 5 i A public good Multiple Choice generally results in substantial negative externalities. can never be provided by a nongovernmental organization. costs essentially nothing to produce and is thus provided by the government at a zero price. can't be provided to one person without making it available to others as well.There are two towns, A and B, each with a plant emitting pollution. The emission from plant Ais uniformly distributed across both town A and B. The emissions from plant B are local to town B. Despite the difference in affected area, the marginal benefit to either town of abating one unit of pollution from either source is the same, MB(Qi) = 17 − Qi per person, where Qi is total emissions abated from town i’s air. The marginal cost of abatement at plants A and B are MCA(qA) = 200qA and MCB(qB) = 100qB, respectively. If town A has 300 citizens and town B has 200, what is the efficient tax to set at each plant?In performing benefit-cost analysis, we define users as the public andsponsors as the government. True or false?
