Question:
Modify example 9.2 by assuming there is only one firm. Assume that both η and ν1=ν can take two values: νL, νH, and ηL, ηH. Denote pLL=Pr(η=ηL, ν=νL) as the probablity that both parameters take their low values, and similarly define pLH, pHL, and pHH. Define abatement costs by C(l)=c·l2/2 and damages by D(A)=δ⋅A2/2, where A=η(emax−νl) is the ambient pollution level.
(a) Calculate the optimal level for abatement input and the optimal ambient emission tax rate.
(b) Consider the following special cases and interpret: (i) pLH=pHL=0, (ii) pLL=pHH=0, and (iii) Pr(η
,ν)=Pr(η)×Pr(ν)=pη•pν.
