The difference between a cap and trade system for air emissions permits and an individual transferable quota shares system for fisheries is: The permit price in the emissions market is based on minimizing costs across all emitters and the share price in the fishery quota market is based on maximizing profits. Emissions markets have relied on permit auctions to determine the initial allocation of permits but fishery markets have free allocations to existing harvesters. The cap in the emissions market can be arbitrary but the cap in the fishery market must be the maximum sustainable yield. Emissions markets have typically expanded the number of allowances but fishery markets have reduced quota shares to prevent overfishing. Emissions markets allow new entrants into the market but fisheries markets are closed to new entrants.

Implicit Price is co2= 4 USD / ton; Marginal benefit curve to be modelled by y=3x2+5x-2 Expected marginal cost to be modeled by y= -15x+18 Calculate the real market cost, define the best mechanism to implement a carbon reduction program. Explain why and implement if necessary, price control mechanisms. Through price discovery, the scheme finds out that the real marginal cost curve is y=-4x+120. Explain if your previous choice was the best, and what would you need to do in order to minimize losses and maximize CO2 reduction.
Question 16 Which of the following is a means of allocating import licenses by assigning the licenses without competition, applications, or negotiation? Group of answer choices Resource-using application procedures Domestic content requirements Fixed favoritism None of the above
That the free flow of goods and capital creates economies of scale is not necessarily a good thing. Economies of scale encourage increased production which can lead to significant externalities, like pollution. Please provide a counter argument for the above statement
Gozilla Inc. can generate 100 (CO2) emissions without any regulation. The marginal control cost for Gozilla Inc., associated with emission reduction, is known MC=20+0.5Q where Q is reduced units. Suppose that the regulator impose an emission standard on Gozilla: According to the emission standard, the factory is allowed to emit 40 units. The level of reduction in the emission standard could be accomplished through an emission charge (quantity tax or penalty fee on emission). An emission charge of per emission unit would generate the target amount of reduction. Total (tax) revenue the regulator will collect as emission charges would be Hint: Type integers. Do not use thousands separators.

Consider an industry of 2 firms with the following marginal abatement cost functions: MAC1 = 300 – 30e1 MAC2 = 500 – 20e2 1. Calculate the total abatement cost for both firms of reaching the aggregate emissions level of 20 tons via the tax? Don’t include the tax payments. Firm 1’s Total Abatement Cost $_____ Firm 2’s Total Abatement Cost $______2. Suppose you want to limit aggregate emissions to 20 tons with a competitive tradeable emissions permit system. If Firm 1 is given 5 permits and Firm 2 is given 15 permits, after trading how many permits will each firm end up with?Firm 1:____Firm 2:____ Please give correct information, I been getting a lot of wrong answer so far.

Consider a two- period dynamic resource allocation problem where the efficient resource allocation implies a market price of $6 in the first period (i. e., P1 = 6). Assuming that the constant marginal extraction cost in both periods is $3 and that the social discount rate is 10% (i.e., r = 0.10), the socially efficient undiscounted market price in the second period (P2) must be (Hint: use the efficiency condition.)
