Should Consumers Be Priced Out of Pollution-Permit Markets?
Smith, Stefani C.; Yates, Andrew J.
Journal of Economic Education, v34 n2 p181-89 Spr 2003
Presents a simple diagrammatic exposition of a pollution-permit market in which firms that generate pollution and consumers who are harmed by pollution are allowed to purchase permits at a single market price. Illustrates that the market equilibrium is efficient only if the endowment of permits is equal to the efficient level of pollution. (JEH)
