Carbon dioxide emissions have been linked to worsening climate conditions. The following table lists some possible public policies aimed at reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.

For each policy listed, identify whether it is a command-and-control policy (regulation), tradable permit system, corrective subsidy, or corrective tax.

 

Public Policy	Command-and-Control Policy	Tradable Permit System	Corrective Subsidy	Corrective Tax
Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen, so the government funds a tree-planting initiative by offering $450 to any citizen who plants a tree.
The government orders every factory to adopt a new technology, which reduces carbon-dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
The government charges factories $450 for every ton of carbon dioxide they emit.
The government limits total carbon dioxide emissions by all factories to 180,000 tons per month. Each individual factory is given the right to emit 140 tons of carbon dioxide, and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace.
