1. What is the unabated level of emissions? 2. What is the socially optimal level of pollution? 3. Compute the total damages at the socially optimal level. $ 4. Compute the total abatement cost at the socially optimal level. $

Suppose a factory emits greenhouse gases from its chimney. Currently, the factory does not abate emissions at all. If it were to abate, its marginal abatement cost curve is MAC = 225 - 5E. The residents of a nearby town are impacted by the pollution and face marginal damages of $4 per unit of emissions MD = 4E. 1. What is the unabated level of emissions? 2. What is the socially optimal level of pollution? 3. Compute the total damages at the socially optimal level. 4. Compute the total abatement cost at the socially optimal level.

Q9 There are three industrial firms in Happy Valley.The government wants to reduce pollution to 60 units, so it gives each firm 20 tradable pollution permits. Firm: A, B, C Initial pollution level: 30,40,20 Cost of reducing pollution by one unit: 20, 30, 10 Q10 a) Who sells permits and how many do they sell? Who buys permits and how many do they buy? Briefly explain why the sellers and buyers are each willing to do so. What is the total cost of pollution reduction in this situation? b) How much higher would the costs of pollution reduction be if the permits could not be traded?

Evaluate the statement:The optimum level of pollution emissions occurs where the marginal damage is zero.  True False
