What is a potential disadvantage of emissions taxes versus direct pollution controls?
◦ Emissions taxes introduce distortions to the price system, whereas direct controls do not.
◦ The authorities might have a better idea of the socially optimal level of pollution than of the optimal tax rate that would achieve it.
◦ Pollution becomes a part of each firm's profit-maximizing calculations, encouraging firms to find more efficient ways to pollute.
◦ Emissions taxes are more expensive to administer.
◦ Emissions taxes do not specify how the pollution is to be controlled, which leads to economic inefficiency in the implementation of the pollution restraint.
