Which of the following statements is true?

The optimal quantity of pollution reduction is at equilibrium.

The Case Theorem states that

if transactions costs are low, private bargaining will result in an efficient solution to the problem of externalities

If there is pollution in producing a product, then the market equilibrium price

is too low and equilibrium quantity is too high

Because producers do not bear the external cost of pollution

private production exceeds the economically efficient level.

Economists argue that the level of pollution should be

reduced to the point where the marginal benefit of pollution reduction is equal to the marginal cost of pollution reduction to society

The marginal benefit of reducing pollution curve is the same curve as

the demand for pollution reduction curve

In Economics, the optimal level of pollution is:

the level for which the net benefit from reducing the pollution is the greatest

The marginal cost of reducing pollution curve is the same curve as

the supply of pollution reduction curve

What is the incremental cost of increasing the quantity of pollution reduction from QB to QE units?

the value of the area QB BE QE QB: equilibrium, BE: Marginal Cost Curve/aka: Supply curve

What is the incremental benefits of increasing the quantity of pollution reduction from QB to QE units?

the value of the area QB BF QE QB: equilibrium, BF:Marginal Benefit curve/aka Demand curve
