Submit AL Which statement is TRUE with regards to the use of tradable permits for controlling carbon emissions? The total amount of pollution would rise above the established cap if permit prices were set too high. Environmental groups that purchase tradable permits and do not use them will push the price of remaining permits lower. Firms with lower costs of pollution abatement will demand more tradable permits. O Advancements in abatement technology will lead to a decline in the price of tradable permits.

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?
