1. Suppose that the two nations face the following benefits of pollution, B, and costs of
abatement, C: BN = 10, Bs = 7; CN = 5, Cs = 4. Further assume that if the nation chooses to
abate pollution, it still receives the benefits of pollution but now must pay the cost of
abatement as well.
a. Identify the payoffs that accrue to each nation under the four different possible
outcomes of the game and present these payoffs in the normal form of the game.
b. Recall that the term dominant strategy defines the condition that a player in a game
would prefer to play that strategy (in this case either pollute or abate) regardless of
the strategy chosen by the other player in the game. Does either nation have a
dominant strategy in this game? If so, what is it?
c. Identify the Nash equilibria, or non-cooperative equilibria, of this game.

2. A homeowner is concerned about the various air pollutants (e.g., benzene and methane)
released in her house when she cooks with natural gas. She is considering replacing her gas
oven and stove with an electric stove comprising an induction cooktop and convection oven.
The new appliance costs $900 to purchase and install. Capping the old gas line costs an
additional $150 (a one-time fee). The old line must be inspected for leaks each year after
capping, at a cost of $35 for each inspection.
a. If the homeowner plans to remain in the house for four more years and the discount
rate is 4%, what is the minimum present value of the benefits that the homeowner
would need to experience for this purchase to be justified based on its private net
sub present value?
b. While trying to understand how she might express the value of reduced exposure to
indoor air pollutants in dollar terms, the homeowner consulted the EPA website and
found estimates provided by…
After the ban is imposed, Joe’s firm switches to the more expensive biodegradable disposable cups. This increases the cost associated with each cup of coffee it produces.
Which cost curve(s) will be impacted by the use of the more expensive biodegradable disposable cups? Why? Which cost curve(s) will not shift, and why not? Please use the table below to answer this question. For the second column (“Impacted? If so, how?”), please use one of the following three choices: No shift; Shifts up (i.e., increases: at nearly any given quantity, the cost goes up); or Shifts down (i.e., decreases: at nearly any given quantity, the cost goes down). $
Cost Curve
Impacted? If so, how?
Explanation of the Shift: Why or Why Not
AFC
No shift.
Fix costs stay the same, regardless of quantity. Fixed cost is calculated as Fixed Cost/Quantity. Since fixed costs remain unchanged, AFC stays the same for each quantity.
MC
Shifts up.
Since the biodegradable cups are more expensive, the…

- Styrofoam is non-biodegradable and is not easily recyclable. Many cities and at least one state have enacted laws that ban the use of polystyrene containers. These locales understand that banning these containers will force many businesses to turn to other more expensive forms of packaging and cups, but argue the ban is environmentally important. Shane owns a firm with a conventional production function resulting in U-shaped ATC, AVC, and MC curves. Shane's business sells takeout food and drinks that are currently packaged in styrofoam containers and cups. Graph the short-run AFC0, AVC0, ATC0, and MC0 curves for Shane's firm before the ban on using styrofoam containers.arrow_forwardd-farrow_forwarda-c pleasearrow_forward

What is the net benefit to society of moving from the unregulated emissions level to the efficient level? In response to industry complaints about the costs of the tax, a cap-and-trade program is proposed. The marginal abatement cost curves for the two firms are given by: MAC=24-E and MAC2 = 24-2E2. d.
