Use marginal cost/marginal benefit analysis to determine if the following statement is true or false: "The optimal amount of pollution abatement for some substances, say, dirty water from storm drains, is very low; the optimal amount of abatement for other substances, say, cyanide poison, is close to 100 percent."

True or false: if society wishes to reduce overall pollution by a certain amount, it is efficient to have firms with highest profit bearing the largest burden of reducing pollution and firms with lowest profit bearing the least burden.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false, and justify your answer. Suppose Fred imposes negative externalities on Wilma when he engages in some otherwise productive activity (like yelling "Yabba Dabba Doo!" to encourage himself, for instance). Suppose further that Fred and Wilma know each other well, communicate effectively and trust each other, and generally have low costs from transacting with each other. In this setting, having the government impose a Pigouvian tax on Fred each time he yells "Yabba Dabba Doo!" is the only way to generate socially optimal levels of yelling.
