U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has many technological initiatives to speed up its processes. For example, the dock worker identification program creates a common database of authorized personnel at ports of entry, which can create efficiency. However, it can also create drawbacks for a fluid workforce. Referring to the U. S. Customs process, discuss the balance between security and speed in a global supply chain and offer examples of when those two factors might be in conflict. In your responses to your peers, discuss your thoughts on the example they presented. Do you tend to lean more toward the need for security or the need for efficiency

4. suppose that pollution in a neighborhood comes from two factories, with marginal benefit curves given by mb1 = 12 – p1 and mb2 = 8 – p2. the level of pollution in the neighborhood is given by p = p1 + p2. the government wants to limit pollution by instituting a pollution-rights market. the government’s desired level of p is 10, so it prints 10 pollution rights and offers them for sale to the firms. a)find the equilibrium selling price of a pollution right, as well as the allocation of rights (and hence pollution levels) across the two factories. b)repeat part (a) for the case where the government’s desired level of pollution equals 14. c)comment on the usefulness of a pollution rights market in achieving efficient levels of pollution abatement.
