Marginal contribution measures the spread between the amount of revenue to be received from one additional unit of the scarce resource and the amount of incremental cost necessary to produce that revenue. The cost of the scarce resource itself does not enter into this calculation because the way the firm uses the resource does not change the cost.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - marginal%20contribution

We have seen that the producer will use the facility to pollute, like any other input, up to the point where its marginal product is equal to its cost to him.... In cruder terms, the pollution will be pushed only to the point where what society gets out of it(the marginal product to the firm) is just offset by what it costs society.... Thus, to achieve the optimum degree of pollution abatement what is needed is some way of making the polluter use the pollution input up to the point where it would cost him more to use more of it than society would gain in terms of higher output.  1, fiche 6, Anglais, - pollution%20input
