Which is a wrong explanation on market mechanisms (cap and trade)?
A) A 'cap' is set on an individual allowable emission
B) Permit to emit greenhouse gases are distributed to emitters
C) Some firms will need more permits, and so will have to buy
D) Other firms will find it easier to reduce their emissions, and so will have permits to sell
Homework Answers
a) A cap is set to limit total level of emissions of certain chemicals, particularly carbon dioxide, as a result of industrial activity.
So statement "A 'cap' is set on an individual allowable emission" is wrong.
The other statements are correct explanation of cap and trade.

2 Pollution Control There are three coal plants, currently emitting 120 units of coal emissions. The government determines they wish to cut emission in half to 60 units total across the three plants. Each plant has their own total control C costs for emissions: TC and marginal costs of: gi MC where q is the amount of emissions reduced per plant. 1. The gove nment requires each plants to reduce emissions by 20 units to achieve the new standard. What...

I. Suppose there is a national TEP program to reduce the amount of sulphur emitted by electricity-generating power plants (power plant A and power plant B) Current total emissions are 120,000 tonnes of sulphur per year, and policy-makers have decided that this must be reduced to 80.000 tonnes/year It is reported that power plants A emits 40,000 tonnes of sulphur currently. This plant is initially given 30 discharge permits. Each permit allows the holder to release a maximum of 1,000...
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 Pollution1.The government sets pollution standards using regulation.2.The government allocates tradable pollution permits.Each firm faces different costs, so reducing pollution is more difficult...

Joulutet 3. Assume that a firm has the following marginal benefit of pollution (denoted E for emissions, measured in tons): MB=150-5 E e. Now assume that instead the government allocates each firm permits to pollute equal to the total current pollution minus 12 tons, but allows the firms to trade. Which firm will purchase permits and which firm will sell permits? Hint: Notice that total pollution reduction of firm 1 plus firm 2 will be 24 tons. f. How much...

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...
