Suppose that two firms produce differentiated products and compete in prices. as in class, the two firms are located at two ends of a line one mile apart. consumers are evenly distributed along the line. the firms have identical marginal cost, $60. firm b produces a product with value $110 to consumers.firm a (located at 0 on the unit line) produces a higher quality product with value $120 to consumers. the cost of travel are directly related to the distance a consumer travels to purchase a good. if a consumerhas to travel a mile to purchase a good, the incur a cost of $20. if they have to travel x fraction of a mile, they incur a cost of $20x. (a) write down the expressions for how much a consumer at location d would value the products sold by firms a and b, if they set prices p_{a} and p_{b} ? (b) based on your expressions in (a), how much will be demanded from each firm if prices p_{a} and p_{b} are set? (c) what are the nash equilibrium prices?

4. understanding different policy options to correct for negative externalities carbon dioxide emissions have been linked to global warming. the following table lists some possible public policies aimed at reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. for each policy listed, identify whether it is a command-and-control policy (regulation), tradable permit system, corrective subsidy, or corrective tax. public policy command-and-control policy tradable permit system corrective subsidy corrective tax the government charges factories $110 for every ton of carbon dioxide they emit. the government orders every factory to adopt a new technology, which reduces carbon-dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen, so the government funds a tree-planting initiative by offering $110 to any citizen who plants a tree. the government limits total carbon-dioxide emissions by all factories to 180,000 tons per month. each individual factory is given the right to emit 140 tons of carbon dioxide, and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace.
