Answer to Question 1

a. The money supply decreases
b. Interest rates rise
c. Investment decreases
d. Consumption decreases
e. Net exports decrease
f. The aggregate demand curve shifts to the left
g. Real GDP falls
h. The price level falls

Answer to Question 2

Taxes on these activities are not designed to eliminate externalities; they are simply meant to force decision makers to consider the full costs of their decisions. Even if we assume that a tax correctly measures all the damage done, the decision maker may find it advantageous to continue causing the damage.
