If polluter 1 emits 10 tons polluter 2 emits 25 tons of pollutant.MD=5+2e and MAC=15+2a. If abatement and emissions are at their efficient levels for specified this set of damages and abatement cost, by how much would the minimum total cost to society change if damages would discovered to be MD=4+2.5e instead? (question has that much info and also clear)

QUESTION 7 Choose a wrong statement about uniformly mixed fund pollutants. O The damage caused by uniformly mixed pollutants is relatively insensitive to where the emissions are injected into the atmosphere. A difficulty with emission charge is determining how high the charge should be set in order to ensure that the resulting emission reduction is at the desired level. The policy can focus simply on controlling the total amount of emissions in a manner that minimizes the cost of control. O The cost-effective allocation is found by equating the total control costs of the two sources.

Answer Bank Pollution taxes encourage firms to find innovative ways to remove pollution. H Firms generate the same level of pollution regardless of any pollution taxes that are imposed. With a pollution tax, firms must pay a fine if they pollute more than the legally specified amount. Q Search Resources Ex Give Up? False A A pollution charge and a pollution tax are the same thing.

The Forest Service is responsible for maintaining our commons forests, and controlling responsible access and safe usage of forest campsites and trails by the public. Currently, the forest service is trying to decide whether to increase the resources devoted to thinning parts of the forest in Eastern Washington so as to reduce the risk of wildfires. They thus took a survey of Washington Residents to see how much they would be willing to to pay in order to have better air quality and fewer wildfires. The results of the survey would be used by the government in making budgetary decisions about tax collection and revenue allocation for forest management.
