6. Correcting for negative externalities - Taxes versus tradablepermits Paper factories emit chemicals 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 paper 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 chemicals). The following graph shows the daily demand for pollution rights.
Economic activity causes pollution. Pollution is a spillover cost of production that causes inequality and distorts the allocation of resources. Government therefore regulates private business by the standard approach and incentive based environmental policies. With the standard approach, a maximum acceptable level of pollutant is established and firms that exceed this level are punished by the means of fine. On the other hand, the incentive-based regulation schemes are pollution fees and pollution permits that utilize efficiencies of the marketplace.
Two incentive based regulation scheme for regulation of pollution are: (a) Pollution fees; and (b) Marketable Pollution Permits.
The following graph shows the daily demand for pollution rights.
