question 309

Essay

What is a cap-and-trade policy? (Be certain to mention marketable permits.) Suppose there are two firms in an area, each emitting tons of sulfur. The government decides on a target level of 200 tons of sulfur, and gives each firm a permit to emit 100 tons of sulfur. Suppose Firm A is very efficient and can reduce pollution by 100 tons with an abatement cost of $500. Firm B has an older plant, so it will cost Firm B $1,000 to reduce emissions by 100 tons. What will occur with marketable permits?
