A group of 100 residents in a small community have decided to pay for a local police force. Each resident has the same marginal valuation schedule for intensity of police protection per day which is defined in terms of the number of police officers on duty Q as MV (Q) = 30 - 4Q. The protection is a public good and it costs $200 per police officer per day. (a) What number of police officers is efficient? (b) Explain why this level of protection might not be provided in a competitive market.
Which of the following is not considered a strength of the environmental economics approach? a. companies will be motivated to try and reduce environmental impacts to have more economic gain. b. market-based solutions offer incentives for behavioural changes that directly address the issue at hand, fostering tangible change. c. policies with significant economic costs often face rejection. d. it assigns price/ quantitative value to natural resources, making it easier to weigh the impacts and awareness on how companies/people use it. e. it tries to balance the resource that you have, whatever it may be, to use and manage it appropriately and tries not to have any negative impacts on our environment.
In the context of environmental economics, the "tragedy of the commons" refers to: A) The efficient allocation of resources when property rights are well-defined and enforced. B) The overuse and depletion of common - pool resources due to individual incentives to maximize personal gain, leading to suboptimal outcomes for society. C) The creation of externalities that are fully internalized by market participants. D) The optimal provision of public goods through voluntary cooperation among individuals.
Why might a wetland ecologist scoff at an economist when the economist claims to have come up with a "value" for wetlands, for use in benefit-cost analysis? Keep in mind that economists and ecologists tend to have very different ideas about the concept of “value” for environmental resources? Explain the differences between the concept of “existence value” for an economist, and the concept of “intrinsic value” for an ecologist.
Refer to the diagram. With MB1 and MC1, society's optimal amount of pollution abatement is Multiple Choice Q1. Q2. Q3. Q4.
Suppose 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 pollution

Please help with the calculations & working :) In this question there is a diagram with ‘y’ being the vertical axis representing costs/damages, and ‘P’ being a horizontal axis representing pollution. Abatement is the opposite of pollution, so if pollution falls from, say, 3 to 1 abatement rises by 2. 1. Suppose the marginal damage curve to private firms is MDP: y=0 and the marginal cost of abatement is MCA: y=1-P if P<1 and y=0 otherwise, where y is the vertical axis on a cost/damage scale, and P is the amount of pollution. Plot these curves and the equilibrium amount of pollution which is privately optimal for the firm. 2. Why is the marginal cost of abatement is downward sloping (with increasing pollution measured on the bottom axis as you go right). Give an example where this is a reasonable assumption 3. Suppose the marginal damage to society is MDS: y=P. Calculate the socially optimal amount of pollution. What ethical system does the ‘optimal amount of pollution’ belong? To…
Provide a reason why the marginal damages from some emissions may be increasing with the level of emissions (like in the figure above). Suppose the unregulated level of emissions is E3. What area(s) represent the total damages from unregulated emissions? Suppose emissions levels drop from E3 to E1. What area(s) represent the total benefits from the emissions reduction from E3 to E1? What point denotes the marginal damage from emissions at E2?
What are the essential elements of a cost recovery model? How should parks be designed to meet increasing populations? And how can government rethink delivery of parks? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
No hand written solution Afirm has an industrial plant that emits pollutants into a town’s lake. The plant’s marginal abatement function is MAC= 200 – 0.5E and damages caused by its emissions are given by MD = 2E where emissions are in kg. per day. What is the socially efficient level of emissions from this plant? Illustrate this in a graph. As an incentive to reduce emissions to the socially efficient level, government offers to pay the firm for each kg. of emissions it abates per day from this plant. What subsidy per kg. should the government offer? If the plant abates to the socially efficient level of emissions, what total subsidy payment would the firm receive? Identify the area in your graph. How much better or worse off would the firm be compared to if it did no abating? Identify the area in your graph. What would be the net benefit to society if we pay the firm to reduce the plant’s emissions to the socially efficient level? Identify this area in your graph.
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=0
