In this setting, we perform four tasks. First, we determine the amount of chemical waste and the leather produced by tanneries <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" width=\"9\" height=\"17\">&nbsp;and <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" width=\"10\" height=\"17\">&nbsp;in a competitive equilibrium. Second, we explain why this competitive equilibrium is inefficient from a societal standpoint. Third, we ascertain the socially optimal amount of leather produced by the two tanneries. Finally, we illustrate the working of our theoretical model with a specific example in which we use explicit functional forms and numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Ganges River, Leather Production, Tannery, Waste Treatment, Water Pollution<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JEL classification: <\/strong>R11, R22, R32, Q52, Q53<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;pp. 47-53<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rsijournal.eu\/ARTICLES\/December_2022\/3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>read more<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amitrajeet A.
