Carbon Price Policy
The government of Canada has recently imposed a carbon price
policy. Imposin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the carbon price policy aims to reduce the consumption of carbon
in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">intensive products. By imposin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing this policy, the Government of Canada hopes that
consumers will change their behaviour of consumin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing energy (i.e. consumin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing less).
Requirements for the project: please watch the video, read the news article, read
all the comments and discussions in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the comment section in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the article and then
answer the followin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing questions.
1. summarize the article in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in your language and list the main" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in ideas the
article is discussin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing.
2. summarize the comments, discussions and different arguments in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in
the comment section and provide your in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">insights and argument about the
potential effect of the carbon price (i.e. the likely that it would change
consumer behaviour or not? Or it would just in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">increase the government
revenue from taxes without any effects on consumer behaviours?). You
need to support the position (argument) that you will take by usin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing what we
have studied in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in this course.
3. use the concepts and graphs we have studied in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in this course to
explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the followin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ings:

b. The price elasticity of demand of carbon-in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">intensive products that you
will have listed in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in poin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">int (a), and whether or not consumers would
change their consumption behaviours because of the price elasticity
of demand.

concept of price control (ceilin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing or floor)?
d. What effects the government decision could have on the surplus or
shortages of carbon in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">intensive products, if any?
