Answer to Question 1

A voluntary quota is difficult to operate because a production quota results in a massive incentive to cheat on the production quota by increasing production. A production quota decreases the quantity produced. By decreasing the quantity produced, a production quota raises the price and reduces the marginal social cost of the last unit produced. Because the price exceeds the marginal social cost, producers have an incentive to increase their production (beyond the quota amount) to boost their profit.

Answer to Question 2
