8.1 Suppose we have an agricultural valley 100 km by 50 km, with a polluting electricity power plant. The power plant causes pollution problems in a narrow strip of land downwind of the plant, and within this valley. 10 km in length and 500 m in width, but no problems outside of that area. The total effect of the pollution is to make crop land less productive. If we were to clean up the pollution, would we expect land prices to increase? Where? Would we expect wages to decline? Would the changes in land prices and/or wages fully reflect the benefits of cleaning up the pollution? Why or why not?
How do we describe the costs of reducing environmental pollution?

This graph shows the market for antifreeze. Use it to answer the next questions. 8 6. 1 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 1100 Quantity Question 8 The production of antifreeze creates pollution. The pollution imposes a cost of $2 per gallon on society. What is the marginal social cost of the 500th gallon of antifreeze? Answer is a whole number; do not include a dollar sign (e.g. 10).
What should the government set their corrective tax to if they want to eliminate 7 units of pollution?
There are three industrial firms in a town Firm Initial Pollution Level Cost of Reducing Pollution by 1 Unit A 30 units $20 40 units 20 units B с $30 $10 The government wants to reduce pollution to 60 units, so it gives each firm 20 tradable pollution permits. 1. Who sells permits and how many do they sell? Who buys permits and how many do they buy? Briefly explain why the sellers and buyers are each willing to do so. What is the total cost of pollution reduction in this situation? 2. How much higher would the costs of pollution reduction be if the permits could not be traded?

4 This is a graph reprinted from Section 12.1 the Economics of Pollution. Please explain the graph with particular attention paid to why there are two supply curves. How can a government use this graph to establish pollution controls?
Why do economists prefer corrective taxes and tradeable permits over command and control policies as a way to protect the environment from pollution? Explain
