Now, assume that the government institutes an emission fee of $16 thousand per unit of pollution. How many units of pollution would each polluter abate? Is the $16 thousand fee a cost-effective strategy for meeting the standard? Explain.
Assume that there are two firms, each emitting 20 units of pollutants into the environment, for a total of 40 units in their region. The government sets an aggregate abatement standard (AST) of 20 units. The polluters' cost functions are as follows, where the dollar values are in thousands: Polluter 1: TAC1 = 10 + 0.75(A1)2, Polluter 2: TAC2 = 5 + 0.5(A2)2, MAC1 = 1.5A1, MAC2 = A2.
The U.S. economy is not a perfectly competitive market. There are costs associated with negotiating contracts, enforcing agreements, taxes and less than perfectly competitive firms. Nevertheless, according to Wallis and North (1986), the U.S
economy has grown in the presence of these transaction costs and these costs have risen sharply as a percentage of GDP between 1890 and 1970. Indicate whether the statement is true or false
