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 sulfur...

Suppose the government gives each industry 100 tradable allowances; each allowance allows for 1 ton of sulfur dioxide emissions. Explain how the industries will trade the allowances and the range of prices that the allowances will trade...

Assume that a firm has the following marginal benefit of pollution (denoted E for emissions, measured in tons): MB=150-5E Q: How much would this firm pollute if pollution is unregulated? The government would like to reduce pollution from this amount by 12 tons and so implements a quantity constraint at the quantity in part (a) minus 12. What is the cost to this firm of reducing pollution by 12 tons? What tax would encourage this polluter to reduce pollution by...

Consider two firms (i.e., firms 1 & 2) with heterogeneous marginal abatement cost functions: MAC1=12 - 2E1 MAC2 =10 - E2 Assume the marginal external damages from emissions are: M E D = 1/2 E A . where EA is the sum of the two firms’ emissions. What quantity of emissions do firms produce in the absence of government intervention? What are the total external damages? What are the total abatement costs? Derive the aggregate marginal abatement cost function (Hint:...
