What are the total industry costs of pollution control (i.e., for both firms combined) if a uniform emission standard is utilized to achieve an aggregate emission reduction of 6 tons? In other words, each firm is required to reduce emissions by 3 units. What are the marginal costs of pollution control for firm #1 and for firm #2 under the standard? Assume that the pollution control authority establishes an emission-trading program and that each firm is freely allocated 7 tons of emissions reductions. What is the cost-effective reduction of pollution by the two firms with a tradable permit approach? What are the marginal costs of pollution control for firm #1 and firm #2? What are the total costs of the emission-trading program?
