Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1, Problem 11AA
Solution
The manner in which scarcity is different from shortage.
Scarcity is defined as the problem in which there is limited resources available but unlimited wants. When there is fixed amount of resources available at any point of time and people have different kind of uses for those resources, this leads to the scarcity.
Scarcity is different from shortage. This is because when we talk about scarcity it refers to the unlimited wants of the people for the available resources, whereas shortage is temporary. They occur frequently. For example, when floods landslides occur, it leads to the shortage of goods and services and property.
Generally, scarcity occurs when available resources are rare and difficult to reproduce whereas shortage occurs when a good or service have high demand but due to less supply, it does not satisfy the demand. Scarcity is permanent whereas shortage is temporary.

- "Whether the regulator sells or gives away tradeable emission permits free of charge, the quantities of emissions produced by firms are the same." Assume that there are n identical profit-maximising firms where profit for each firm is given by π(e) with л'(e) > 0; π"(e) < 0 and e denotes emissions. Individual emissions summed over all firms gives E which generates environmental damages D(E). Show that the regulator achieves the optimal level of total pollution through a tradeable emission permit scheme, where the permits are distributed according to the following cases: Case (i) the firm purchases all permits; Case (ii) the firm receives all permits free; and Page 3 of 5 ES30031 Case (iii) the firm purchases a portion of its permits and receives the remainder free of charge.arrow_forwardcompare and/or contrast the two plays we've been reading, Antigone and A Doll's House.arrow_forwardPlease answer step by steparrow_forward
