Consider a pulp mill that emits air and water pollution emissions (E) that impose negative external costs (damages) onto society. The aggregate marginal abatement cost (MAC) and marginal damage (MD) curves have been estimated follows: MAC = 800 − 20E MD = 20E a. On a diagram, plot the MAC and MD curves. Be sure to label the curves, calculate the vertical intercept and horizontal intercepts of the MAC line, and the intersection point of the two lines. Show all...
The market below exists for electricity produced by coal at a power plant in Tennessee. The marginal private cost (MPC) curve represents the private costs of the power plant to produce electricity from coal. Coal-fired electricity generation, however, also produces an externality. Production creates emissions that can harm human health, contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and degrade ecosystems. The marginal social cost (MSC) curve represents the cost of coal-fired electricity production in Tennessee, including the costs borne by society. Use...
Company A, the polluter, is located upstream of Company B, the victim, on a certain river. A productive activity pollutes the water, thereby negatively affecting the value of water to B. In the beginning, before regulation, emissions are E = 96. A’s marginal abatement cost is MAC = 50−A/2, where A is the amount of emissions abatement. B’s marginal abatement damages are MPD = A/3. a. If polluter A has the right to the river, what is the total damage...
e w E R ullo -shite zxc vel 3) This exercise will explore an externality. (40 pts) Passenger vehicles in the City of Berwick emit particulate matter (PM) pollution that has an adverse effect on residents. The local university has determined that the marginal social cost of the PM pollution is: MSC = $20,000* And the marginal social benefit of pollution is: MSB = $510,000 - $30,000*Q Where Q = tons of PM emitted. a) What types of factors might...
1. Pigovian Taxes Widgets are a necessary part of modern life, but they are also associated with considerable pollution and pollution-related externalities. Consider the private market for widgets described by the following private marginal benefit (MB) and private marginal cost (PMC) curves: ????= 100 − 0.15???? ??????= 4 + 0.06????. where ???? is the quantity demanded and ???? is the quantity supplied. Assume here that output (???? and ????) varies from 0 to 1000. After plotting these curves, use them...
