A country called Sherwood is very heavily covered with a forest of 50,000 trees. There are proposals to clear some of Sherwoods forest and grow com, but obtaining this additional economic output will have an environmental cost from reducing the number of trees. Table 12.11 shows possible combinations of economic output and environmental protection. Sketch a graph of a production possibility frontier with environmental quality on the horizontal axis, measured by the number of trees, and the quantity of economic output, measured in corn, on the vertical axis. Which choices display productive efficiency? How can you tell? Which choices show allocative efficiency? How can you tell? In the choice between T and R, decide which one is better. Why? In the choice between T and S, can you say which one is better, and why? If you had to guess, which choice would you think is more likely to represent a command-and-control environmental policy and which choice is more likely to represent a market-oriented environmental policy, choice Q or S? Why?

The marginal cost of this education is a constant $4,000 per student per year and the marginal external benefit is a constant $3,000 per student per year If the government provides public design schools, what tuition will achieve the efficient number of students?

K The graph illustrates the unregulated market for pesticide. When the factories produce pesticide, they also create waste which they dump into a lake on the outskirts of a small town. The marginal external cost of the dumped waste is equal to the marginal private cost of producing pesticide (that is, the marginal social cost of producing the pesticide is double the marginal private cost). What is the quantity of pesticide produced if no one owns the lake and what is the efficient quantity of pesticide? What is the deadweight loss? *** If no one owns the lake, the quantity of pesticide produced is 30 tons a week. The efficient quantity of pesticide is 20 tons a week.

Chapter 8 in Tietenberg and Lewis looks at climate change, the most important environmental issue of our time. Economists generally agree that putting a price on carbon is the best approach to reducing climate warming carbon emissions. The two main strategies for doing this are carbon taxes and the cap and trade version of emissions trading. Discuss the pros and cons to these two approaches to pricing carbon. Why do economists favor these kinds of market-based strategies to pollution control over “command and control” approaches such technology standards?
Explain: “Without a market for pollution rights, dumping pollutants into the air or water is costless; in the presence of the right to buy and sell pollution rights, dumping pollutants creates an opportunity cost for the polluter.” What is the significance of this opportunity cost to the search for better technology to reduce pollution?
