    1. The following figure shows the marginal abatement cost curve of a polluting firm. The status quo level of SO2 emissions of the firm is 100 tons. Suppose the government is targeting 50 tons of emissions from this firm. The government can achieve this target by setting emission standard of 50 tons or by imposing an emission tax t per ton of emission. The authority allows the source to choose between the standard and the tax t. Would the firm...
