Section 1 Answer all questions. Show all your workings. (a) Suppose there are two firms 1 and 2, whose abatement costs are given by c₁(e₁) and c₂ (e₂), 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 2(e) +2 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. [200 marks] (b) "Whether the regulator sells or gives away tradeable emission permits free of charge, the quantities of emissions produced by firms are the…
