Authority - Responsibility Balance & Incentive Development.

Explanation:

Authority refers to the power to command, give orders to somebody. And enjoying the position of having right to get it obeyed.

Responsibility refers to being in a position of accountability, answerability for an allocated task or job & its performance.

For Eg : A manager given responsibility to complete a task of production targets achievement, is also given authority to command the entire staff at the production site.

Joe had problem while working for someone else that :- he had responsibility to complete employers allocated task, but may be not given enough authority to do so, thats why he felt he is being 'commanded by, working for' someone else. Also, he doesn't owe the rewards of his acts, so lacks incentive.

Being an entrepreneur will entitle him with managerial responsibilities, but at the same time will also give him higher authority to take his own independent decisions. And, he is himself responsible for his acts, will bear losses or enjoy profits for himself. So, it also incentivises him to work for himself.

Rom4ik [11]

Options :

A) society would be better off with zero pollution.

B) society would be better off if emissions were increased.

C) command and control policies should always be used.

D) Society would be better off if emissions were reduced

Answer:

Explanation: The marginal damage resulting from an emission refers to the extra damage resulting from the extra unit of emission released. Whereby the marginal cost of abatement refers to the cost incurred in reducing one extra unit of pollution. Taking a look at the cost of marginal damage incurred, which is $100billion and the marginal cost of abatement which is $180 billion. From an economic standpoint, aive the abatement cost considerably outweighs the marginal damage, it spending $180 billion to cover for a loss of $ 100 billion seems unreasonable. Therefore the society will be better off if emissions were increased.
