Command-and- Control Policy Tradable Permit System Corrective Subsidy Corrective Tax O For each policy listed, identify whether it is a command-and-control policy (regulation), tradable permit system, corrective subsidy, or corrective tax. Public Policy The government limits total carbon-dioxide emissions by all factories to 240,000 tons per ten years. Each individual factory is given the right to emit 220 tons of carbon dioxide, and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen, so the government funds a tree-planting initiative by offering $270 to any citizen who plants a tree. The government orders every factory to adopt a new technology, which reduces carbon-dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The government charges factories $270 for every ton of carbon dioxide they emit. о о о о о о 0 о о 0

Consider two approaches to reducing emissions of CO2 into the environment from manufacturing industries in the United States. In the first approach, the U.S. government makes it a policy to use only predetermined technologies. In the second approach, the U.S. government determines which technologies are cleaner and subsidizes their use. Of the two approaches, which is the command-and-control policy?

Refer to Table 12.2. The externality created by the refrigerator production was 100.

If the external costs were 100 why did the price only increase by 50 when we accounted for all costs?
What is an externality?
Suppose you want to put a dollar value on the external costs of carbon emissions from a power plant. What information or data would you obtain to measure the external [not social] cost?
