With tradable permits, high polluters face a (the) ________cost of pollution reduction than low polluting firms and decrease emissions at a (the) _________than with reguation.
a. same; lower
b. lower; higher
c. higher; same
d. higher lower
(side note: confirmed that lower higher is not the right answer. so it is either a, c, or d
Option D is correct. Instruments tradable permits aimed at reducing pollution. A maximum permissible emission rate is determined by the government and permits to allow the production of maximum emission are issued to industry players.
Firms polluting firms will face a higher cost for pollution reduction than the low polluting firms. But the decrease in the emission at the lower level because the pollution by the firm in a large quantity.

Tradable pollution permits can lower the cost of reducing pollution because some firms can reduce pollution at a lower cost than others. the system is easier to setup and control. It imposes strict mandates for firms the government standards are lower.

5. Correcting for negative externalities - Regulation versus tradable permits Suppose the government wants to reduce the total pollution emitted by three local firms. Currently, each firm is creating 4 units of pollution in the area, for a total of 12 pollution units. If the government wants to reduce total pollution in the area to 6 units, it can choose between the following two methods: Available Methods to Reduce Pollution 1. The government...
7. Correcting for negative externalities - Taxes versus tradable permits Power stations emit sulfur dioxide as a waste product. This generates a cost to society that is not paid for by the firm, therefore, pollution is a negative externality of power production Suppose the U.S. government wants to correct this market failure by getting firms to internalize the cost of pollution. To do this, the government can charge firms for pollution rights the right to emit a given quantity of...
