Example:
Factory pollution contaminating water supply
The firm is passing on – externalizing- the cost to villagers

Possible Solutions:
Negative Externality
Property Rights: establishing ownership can provide motivation to include external costs into the price
But, this often isn’t a plausible option
Coase Theorem: as long as transaction costs are low, it doesn’t matter which party has property rights, they will negotiate a solution to the externality without the need for gov’t intervention.

It used to be,“Would you likea smoke”?
Then it became, “Do you mind if I smoke”?
Property rights of smoking have changed over the years.

Then it became, “Thank you for not smoking.”
Finally, an outright ban on smoking.

Negative Externality
Government intervention:1. Tax – could pay for fixing extra cost
– or at least decrease Q2. Q Restriction – establish a law to
force correction3. Price Control – establish an effective
price floor4. Permits – i.e.. pollution permits that
can be bought and sold among polluters

Public vs. Private Goods
Public goodsThe market will not provide optimum amounts of these good, or provide them at all because there is no way to make a profit from them.
The production of public goods results in positive externalities which are not paid for, so there is less incentive to produce it.
