Update the graph below to illustrate the efficient level of emissions if new research demonstrates that emissions are more harmful than previously estimated. Clearly show which curve(s) change and denote the new efficient level of emissions as E4.
Within the remote nation of New Hope, total industrial production is currently creating a constant level of GDP that results in 2,600 million tonnes per year of carbon being released into the atmosphere. The government announced three years ago that a cap on carbon emissions of 2,430 million tonnes would be imposed. This triggered the creation of new firms that began to plant large plantations of trees grown specifically to absorb carbon from the atmosphere and thus earn carbon credits that they would sell to the highest bidder. See table below for the supply of these earned carbon credits available when the program begins.

Initial price $ Next, assume that new technology enables the same level of GDP to be achieved with 5 percent less carbon emissions. b. Now what is the price of carbon credits? Price $
\table[[],,,, Pollute, Use FiThere are two firms whose factories sit alongside a lake. It costs each firm $2,100.00 to install filters to avoid polluting the lake. Because both firms utilize the lake's water to produce goods, a polluted lake hurts their production process and increases their costs. Assume that the cost to each firm of a polluted lake is $1400.00 times the number of polluting firms. Fill in the cost matrix based on the above information. Note: Include negative signs because this problem refers to costs.Which of the following are true about the equilibrium in a one-shot game? Choose one or more: A. Both firms pollute. B. Only firm 2 pollutes. C. The equilibrium is not Pareto optimal. D. Neither firm pollutes. E. Only firm 1 pollutes. Pollute Firm 1 Use Filter Firm 2 Pollute Use Filter
Suppose we are interested in reducing the carbon footprint associated with heating/cooling buildings oncampus. The functions below describe marginal costs ofCO2abatement (expressed as a function of pollution)for two buildings on the Hendrix College campus. These are hypothetical but are influenced by buildingcharacteristics like age, size, and types of usage. (This information is used for questions 1-4) MCMills = 100−10xM MCSLTC = 75−2.5xS 1. If the College pursued its abatement target by directing each building manager to cut emissions in halffor their respective building, what is the total cost of abatement? 2. If the abatement were pursued with an on-campus carbon tax of$30, would there be the same level ofabatement? Show your work and/or explain. 3. If the goal of the college is to meet the abatement target from question 1, what is the appropriate taxrate? 4. If the appropriate tax rate is used (answer from Q3), how much money can be saved compared to thecommand & control…

Suppose that a firm's marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is MAC = 12 - E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, then its marginal abatement cost function will become MAC = 6 - 0.5E. With an emissions tax of $3, the benefits of adopting the new technologies equal $__. Please round your final answer to two decimal places if necessary. Answer:
Suppose there are three polluting sources with MAC1 = 100 - 4E, MAC2 = 80 - 2E and MAC3 = 60 - 0.5E. When MAC equals $10, the aggregate level of abatement for these sources would be _______.
Imagine a firm’s marginal abatement cost function with existing technologies is: MAC = 8 – E. If the firm adopts new pollution abatement technologies, its marginal abatement cost function will be: MAC = 4 – 0.5E. With a tax on emissions of $2, the benefits of adopting the new technologies equal:Select one:a. $4.b. $10.c. $2.d. $8.
sir can u help me with that
Find Pure Strategy Nash equilibirum then use following values for emissions.
