Kate Hoffman · Answer 1

The correct answer is d. marginal cost of abatement is the same across all polluters.

Explanation:

According to the pollution economy, the marginal cost of reduction refers to the distribution made to determine the level of impact that falls on the environment and that is taken into account as an incentive for the reduction of polluting emissions. For this calculation, all pollutants are considered to have the same impact, which suggests that for the pollution economy there is no different determination to calculate the marginal cost of the impact.
