Marginal Damages of Pollution: MD = 40 Marginal Abatement Cost: MAC = 100 -2Q e. Calculate and compare the change in welfare for Mr. Peabody's coal plant under the efficient tax and efficient subsidy (i.e. the difference in the plant's welfare under a tax (subsidy) compared to no policy at all).
Mr permise states I do not understand why anyone would suggest the use of taxes or regulations in pollution problems. Taxes are unfair and regulations are costly and inefficient. The best approach is to trust the market. Firms will control their emissons because it is cost effective for them to do so. The only policy they may need to applied is the use of market permits. Thismarket would function completely and permit prices would clearly represent all revlevant costs Discuss this statement

1. A firm's marginal abatement cost function is given by MAC = 200-5E. Suppose that, after adopting new abatement technology, the firms marginal abatement function becomes MAC = 160-4E. Costs are in dollars per tonne and emissions are in tonnes per year. The firm is given 20 tradeable pollution permits (each permit allows it to emit one tonne of pollution) and the current market price per permit is $100. a)Given no change in the permit price how many tonnes of pollution will the firm emit? b)What will be the firms total abatement cost? Will it buy or sell permits and how many? c) What will be the net cost to the firm after trading? What will be the net gain to the firm from adopting the new abatement technology
