Question 3 Assume that there are two firms, each emitting 40 units of pollutants into the environment, for a total of 80 units in their region. The government sets an aggregate abatement standard (AST) of 30 units (total in the region). The polluters' cost functions are as follows, where the dollar values are in thousands: Polluter 1: TAC1 = 15 + 1.5(A1)2, MAC1 = 3A1. Polluter 2: TAC2 = 16 + 0.55(A2)2, MAC2 = 1.1A2, a) What information does the...
