Question:

Caithness Energy, a firm that produces renewable energy, runs a wind farm in Ione, Oregon. The families that live close to this farm have complained to the county planning commission about the high noise levels from the wind turbines. Although the government regulates the amount of noise that is allowed in a town or a city, it is difficult to decide what the appropriate level should be and how it should be measured. Following the complaints, a Caithness representative offered households $5,000 if they agreed not to complain about the noise. Is this consistent with what the Coase theorem predicts would happen? Explain.
