In the Figure below, the blue line is the regulator's BELIEF about the aggregate marginal abatement cost (MAC). The TRUE aggregate MAC is the black line. Use the figure to answe Questions 1-4. TRUE aggregate marginal abatement cost Ps P4 a P3 n - gk P₂ P1 e m Marginal damage Emissions E₁ E₂ E3 E₁ Es [1] Suppose the government issued E3 permits to the industry. What is the competitive marke permit price? [2] Suppose the government issued E3 permits to the industry. What area(s) represent the welfare loss due to the uncertainty in aggregate marginal abatement costs? [3] Suppose the government issued E3 permits to the industry. Now suppose the regulator is willing to purchase any number of permits back from firms at price of P2. What level of aggregate emissions would result given the regulator's price control? [4] Suppose the government issued E3 permits to the industry. Again, suppose the regulator is willing to purchase any number of permits back from firms at price of P1. Now what area(s) represent the welfare loss due to the uncertainty in aggregate marginal abatement costs?
