Question:

Consider J=J₁+J₂ polluting firms, where there are J₁ firms of type 1 and J₂ firms of type 2. The abatement cost functions are given by C^j(e_j)=(a_j−b_je_j)²/2b_jfor types j=1,2. The damage function is D(E)=dE²/2, where E is total emissions.

(a) Determine the socially optimal allocation of emissions.

(b) Assume now that there are transaction costs T_j(t_j)=φ_t^tj, where t_j=|e_j−ē_j|. Assume that the regulator has issued a total number of permits that is socially optimal. Type 1 firms (type 2 firms) have an initial endowment smaller (larger) than socially optimal. Determine the trade equilibrium and calculate the welfare loss generated through transaction costs.

(c) Repeat part (a) for:
