Question

Colleges and universities that have signed the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment have pledged to produce their desirable output (teaching) while minimizing the emissions needed to do so.

1. Draw a graph showing the PPF between teaching output and emissions, with emissions on the X-axis and the measure of teaching output on the Y-axis.
2. On your graph, mark the areas that are: (i) attainable and environmentally efficient, (ii) attainable but environmentally inefficient, and (iii) currently unattainable.
3. Suppose that an institution is currently environmentally efficient. Discuss two distinct ways (on a new graph) in which this institution might reduce emissions further, one in which the frontier does not change and one in which it shifts. Clearly interpret what is going on in your graphs.
