"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

Case (iii) the firm purchases a portion of its permits and receives
the remainder free of charge.

- 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.arrow_forwardBill’s father read that each year a car’s value declines by 10%. He also read that a new car’s value declines by 12% as it is driven off the dealer’s lot. Maintenance costs and the costs of “car problems” are only $200 per year during the 2-year warranty period. Then they jump to $750 per year, with an annual increase of $500 per year.Bill’s dad wants to keep his annual cost of car ownership low. The car he prefers cost $30,000 new, and he uses an interest rate of 8%. For this car, the new vehicle warranty is transferrable.(a) If he buys the car new, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(b) If he buys the car after it is 2 years old, what is the minimum cost life?

The corporation is a profitable one that has a 22% combined incremental tax rate. At the end of 5 years the mining company changed its method of operation and sold the production machinery for $40,000. During the 5 years the machinery was used, it reduced mine operation costs by $32,000 a year before taxes.

If, however, an additional $100,000 of instrumentation and remote controls were added, the plant could be run by a single operator. The total before-tax cost of each plant operator is projected at $35,000 per year. The instrumentation and controls will be depreciated by means of a modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS). If this corporation (22% combined corporate tax rate) invests in the additional instrumentation and controls. how long will it take for the after-tax benefits to equal the $100,000 cost? In other words, what is the after-tax payback period? Please write out every step and formula, don't use excel. The answer should be 3.08 years, thank you.arrow_forward

(Maximum length one page) Consider an infectious disease with the following characteristics: Individuals can exist in three states, susceptible, infected, and recovered. Once recovered, an individual cannot be re-infected and remains immune for life. The transmission rate, t, is 1/20. The recovery rate, k, is 1/5. Each person interacts randomly with others in the population and has contacts with 10 people each time period. There is no birth or death in the population. -Initially all people are susceptible. - No one dies from the disease and there is no treatment. a) Draw a compartmental model for this infectious disease.arrow_forwardConsider an obstetrician who can perform two types of deliveries: normal deliveries and cesarean deliveries. Each typeof delivery provides different levels of income for the physician, and the physician has some ability to induce patientsto opt for cesarean deliveries.
