Model a situation in which the allocatively efficient level of abatement occurs at 100 percent, or equivalently where pollution is zero.
Using a graph of the pollution abatement market, model a situation in which the allocatively efficient level of abatement occurs at 100 percent, or equivalently where pollution is zero. Referring to the relative position of the MSC and MSB curves, explain this outcome intuitively.

- According to a Supreme Court ruling, there once was collusion among the leading bakers and food outlets in the province of Alberta. Prior to the conspiracy, bread prices in Edmonton were about equal to the Canadian average. During the period of the conspiracy, bread prices in Edmonton were 15 to 20 percent above the Canadian average.
