What are some economic benefits of aquaculture? What are some negative environmental impacts?
Ben produces chemical compounds that sell for $500 in the market. This production process generates waste which Ben can dispose of in the river for free, or he can pay $300 for professional waste disposal services. The river is also used by swimmers and fishermen, who value having a clean river at $120 and $190 each. Assume there are no negotiation or transaction costs. a) What is the socially optimal outcome in this situation?

cap-and-trade and windfall profitsA city called Seoul is suffering from high concentrations of mercury in the air, caused by burningcoal in power plants. There are two of these plants close to the city. The city’s mayor wants touse cap-and-trade to reduce emissions to a reportedly “safe” level of 60 tons. The two firms havethe following marginal benefits of emissions: MB1 = 100 – 2e1, MB2 = 25 – 0.5e2.a. How much mercury will each firm emit? What allowance price will prevail in themarket?Firm 2 hires a smart lobbyist who convinces the government that its profits are relatively low andthat it therefore deserves a generous allowance allocation. The government agrees and allocatesa1 = 20 allowances to firm 1 (for free) and a2 = 40 allowances to firm 2 (for free).b. What are the firms’ profits? Do any of the firms earn windfall profits? [Hint: compareprofits with and without regulation.] Windfall profits have been sharply criticized by consumer advocacy groups and politicians.c. What can…
Suppose the marginal cost of pollution abatement is constant and equal to 10 percent of GDP for each 10 percent increase in pollution control Given the following data for a $10 trillion economy, answer two questions, Level of Pollution Abatement (%) 0 (no pollution control) 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 (zero emissions) Marginal Benefit ($ trillions) 2.0 1.7 1.3 1.0 08 06 04 03 02 0.1 Instructions: Enter your responses based on the percentage values provided in the table a. Identify the optimal rate of pollution abatement Now suppose that the marginal costs of pollution abatement decrease to 6 percent of GDP for each 10 percent increase in pollution control because of improved pollution control technology and more efficient sources of renewable energy b.
