Explanation of Solution

Using a debit card is just like using cash because, in order to use debit card, one must have balance in the account so that he/she can clear the transaction made with the debit card. Without having balance in the bank account, one cannot use the debit card. On the other hand, credit card is just like loan that does not require minimum balance in the account in order to use the card. But the holder of the credit card has to pay back the money borrowed with the credit card.

Please answer step by step
Suppose there are two firms 1 and 2, whose abatement costs are given by c₁ (e₁) and C2 (е2), where e denotes emissions and subscripts denote the firm. We assume that c{(e) 0 for i = 1,2 and for any level of emission e we have c₁'(e) # c₂' (e). Furthermore, assume the two firms make different contributions towards pollution concentration in a nearby river captured by the transfer coefficients ε₁ and 2 such that for any level of emission e we have C₂'(e) # The regulator does not know the resulting C₁'(e) Τι environmental damages. Using an analytical approach explain carefully how the regulator may limit the concentration of pollution using (i) a Pigouvian tax scheme and (ii) uniform emissions standards. Discuss the cost-effectiveness of both approaches to control pollution.
