The diagram below shows the marginal cost of abatement for each of two firms, A and B. Each firm is initially abating Q0 units of pollution.



FIGURE 17-8

◦ Firm B will sell permits to Firm A, pollute more, and reduce its costs by the area 1; Firm A will buy permits from Firm B, pollute less, and increase its earnings by area 4.
◦ Firm B will sell permits to Firm A, pollute less, and reduce its costs by the area 1; Firm A will buy permits from Firm B, pollute more, and increase its costs by the area 4.
◦ Firm B will buy permits from Firm A, pollute more, and reduce its costs by the area 1; Firm A will sell permits to Firm B, pollute less, and increase its earnings by area 5.
