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.

Craig complained to his friend jess that a class was too hard and he believed that the teacher was not being fair with his grading standards. jess replied, "craig, you really have an attitude problem." what is the relationship between the manner that the term attitude is used in common conversation and the how it is defined in consumer behavior? there is no relationship. common usage is not the same as attitudes as seen by the researchers who study consumer behavior. the term attitude is widely used in popular culture in much the same way it is used in studying consumer behavior. they are different in that popular culture does not recognize that attitudes are temporary. otherwise the usage is the same. they are similar except that popular culture assumes that attitudes are related to beliefs, and research scientists have shown that there is no such relationship.
