THE EQUIMARGINAL PRINCIPLE APPLIED TO EMISSION REDUCTIONS The application of the equimarginal principle says the following: If there are multiple sources of a particular type of pollutant with differing marginal abatement costs, and if it is desired to reduce aggregate emissions at the least possible cost (or alternatively, get the greatest reduction in emissions for a given cost), then emissions from the various sources must be reduced in accordance with the equimarginal principle. Equiproportionate If Source A were cut 50 percent to 6 tons/week, its MAC at this level would be $6,000/week, w
