Suppose that towns collect resources from their surroundings. then, through trade, they attempt to obtain other desirable items. mortarville, an urban town that specializes in brick and ore, wants wood to build roads so that it can expand and connect to other major cities. mortarville has a willingness to pay $50 $50 for wood, since wood is hard for them to obtain. mayflair also needs wood to build grain silos for their wheat harvests. mayflair is willing to pay $45 $45 for wood. timber, the only foresting company, sets the price of wood at $60 $60 . the change in total surplus that arises due to trades between timber and the towns is

4. suppose that pollution in a neighborhood comes from two factories, with marginal benefit curves given by mb1 = 12 – p1 and mb2 = 8 – p2. the level of pollution in the neighborhood is given by p = p1 + p2. the government wants to limit pollution by instituting a pollution-rights market. the government’s desired level of p is 10, so it prints 10 pollution rights and offers them for sale to the firms.a)find the equilibrium selling price of a pollution right, as well as the allocation of rights (and hence pollution levels) across the two factories. b)repeat part (a) for the case where the government’s desired level of pollution equals 14. c)comment on the usefulness of a pollution rights market in achieving efficient levels of pollution abatement.
