Suppose a small country, Country X, is considering implementing a Carbon Tax to address environmental concerns and reduce carbon emissions. The government believes that such a tax will have an impact on the country's economic performance. Given the following data: Current annual carbon emissions: 500,000 metric tons The government proposes a carbon tax of $30 per metric ton of carbon emitted. Calculate the potential change in annual carbon tax revenue if the country successfully reduces its carbon emissions by 20% after the implementation of the Carbon Tax.

The market for paper in a particular region in the United States is characterized by the following demand and supply curves: Qp = 145,000 – 2,000P and Qs = 50,000 + 2,000P where Q, is the quantity demanded in 100-pound lots, Qg is the quantity supplied in 100-pound lots, and P is the price per 100-pound lot. Currently there is no attempt to regulate the dumping of effluent into streams and rivers by the paper mills. As a result, dumping is widespread. The marginal external cost (MEC) associated with the production of paper is given by the curve MEC = 0.0006QS a. Calculate the output and price of paper if it is produced under competitive conditions and no attempt is made to monitor or regulate the dumping of effluent. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) Without regulation, the price is $ 23.75 per 100-pound lot, and the quantity is 97500 100-pound lots. b. Determine the socially efficient price and output of paper. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.)…

why do public utlities like the electric company tend to experience economies of scale at all output levels?

Consider two firms with the following marginal abatement costs (MAC) as a function of emissions (E): MAC_1 = 11 - 2E_1 MAC_2 = 8.5 - E_2, and assume marginal external damages (MED) from the aggregate emissions of both firms (E_Agg = E_1 + E_2) is: MED = .5E_Agg. To achieve the socially efficient level of aggregate emissions (E*_Agg), the government institutes a per unit subsidy to abatement equal to $____. Answer:

(Figure: Output Levels II) The socially optimal output level could be achieved by a government quota of: Price ($) 100 80 60 40 20 0 SMC S = MC 100 200 300 400 500 Quantity of electricity 250 units of electricity. approximately 212 units of electricity. 175 units of electricity. 100 units of electricity.

It is the custom for paper mills located alongside the Layzee River to discharge waste products into the river. As a result, operators of hydroelectric power-generating plants downstream along the river find that they must clean up the river's water before it flows through their equipment. Refer to the above information. Which of the following policies would be most appropriate for dealing with this problem? Multiple Choice levy a Pigovian tax on the producers of paper products and use the tax revenues to clean up the river levy a Pigovian tax on the consumers of paper products and use the tax revenues to conduct research on new energy sources levy a Pigovian tax on the producers of electricity and use the tax revenues to clean up the river levy a Pigovian tax on the consumers of electricity and use the tax revenues to subsidize the consumers of paper products

Consider two firms with the following marginal abatement costs (MAC) as a function of emissions (E): MAC_1 = 33 -3E_1 MAC_2 = 8 - 2E_2, and assume marginal external damages (MED) from the aggregate emissions of both firms (E_Agg = E_1 + E_2) is: MED = 2E_Agg In the absence of government intervention, total external damages (TED) are ___

Scenario 8-3 Suppose the market demand and market supply curves are given by the equations: QD= 300 - P QS=2P Refer to Scenario 8-3. Suppose that a tax of T is placed on buyers so that the demand curve becomes: QD300 - (P+T) What price will sellers receive and what price will buyers pay after the tax is imposed?

A couple of years ago, a global carbon tax seemed far from becoming a reality. However, the introduction of a such a tax now appears to be a possible and viable new instrument for mitigating climate change. The idea has been advocated by heads of international organizations, businesses and professional services firms (including PwC) and lobbyist for big companies (including the Business Council of Australia). Suppose that governments worldwide were to agree to implement a minimum carbon tax of 75 US dollars per tonne of C02 emissions. Further, suppose that you are the CEO of a manufacturer of affordable casual clothing. From this perspective, answer the following questions: Based on the article by Dr Alice Pirlot, explain how you would expect a global carbon tax to change the current laws and regulations that affect your business under the existing international legal framework. Suppose that your shareholders are only concerned with maximising the profits of your business, given the…
