An emissions tax on a quantity of emissions from a film is not a command-and-control approach to reducing pollution. Why?
How can high-income countries benefit from covering much of the cost of reducing pollution created by low-income countries?
Suppose you want to put a dollar value on the external costs of carbon emissions from a power plant. What information or data would you obtain to measure the external [not social] cost?
Classify the following pollution-control policies as command-and-control or market incentive based. A state emissions tax on the quantity of carbon emitted by each firm. The federal government requires domestic auto companies to improve car emissions by 2020. The EPA sets national standards for water quality. A city sells permits to films that allow them to emit a specified quantity of pollution. The federal government pays fishermen to preserve salmon.
What is a pollution charge and what incentive does it provide for a firm to take external costs into account?
Refer to Table 12.2. The externality created by the refrigerator production was 100. However, once we accounted for both the private and additional external costs, the market price increased by only 50. If the external costs were 100 why did the price only increase by 50 when we accounted for all costs?
The table below shows the demand for pollution permits to emit hydrocarbons in a particular industrial park. Each permit allows the owner to release one tonne of pollutants into the atmosphere.

If no fee for a pollution permit were charged, how many tonnes of pollutants would be discharged into the atmosphere, assuming a straight-line demand curve? Quantity: tonnesb. Suppose government were to set a fee of $3,500 per pollution permit. How many tonnes of pollutants would now be dumped? What is the total revenue received by government? Quantity: tonnes Total revenue: $ c. Suppose that a new technology allows for a significant reduction in hydrocarbons at a relatively low cost so that the demand for pollution permits in the industrial park drops by 150 tonnes. Assuming that government holds the permit fee at $3,500, how many tonnes of…

T° MAC A B E E₁ Carbon Dioxide Suppose that the EPA imposes an emissions tax with a per-unit charge of T* on carbon dioxide emissions. Which of the following statements are true? (Check each that is true) The tax bill to the firm will be given by the area A + B. The firm will choose to reduce emissions by (Eo - E*) units. Total abatement costs to the firm are equal to T*. Total abatement costs plus the tax bill to the firm is given by the area B + C. The firm will prefer a performance standard of E* units over this emissions tax policy.
