Q. Consider two firms, each of which is issued three marketable pollution permits. For Firm H, the marginal cost of abatement is $190. For firm L, the marginal cost of abatement is $130.
Is there room for a mutually beneficial exchange of one permit, if so which firm will buy a permit.
Is the two firms spilt the difference, Illustrate what's the price of a permit?
