Review1) Market Failure: When free market doesn’t provide

needed goods/services OR when free market hurts ppl

Page 5: 020811 econ market failures 100m

2) Premiums (when market works): If something causes the supplier extra hardship OR customer extra benefit, they will build it into the price.

3) Externalities: Cost (hardships OR benefits) that are not calculated into the price. (Often means the effected are not part of the initial transaction)

a) Negative Externality: Pll face hardship without being compensated. Example: Pollution

b) Positive Externality: Ppl benefit without paying

Page 6: 020811 econ market failures 100m

Review:Suppliers only care about their own cost.

Customers don’t pay when they don’t have to.

So the MARKET FAILS to take care of externalities.

Page 7: 020811 econ market failures 100m

Notes 19a, Title: “Market Failures” 1) Public Good: Goods that are hard to

exclude people who won’t pay (or we chose not to exclude). We all benefit, but someone has to pay, gov offers, it can force taxes

Exp: National defense, clean environment, roads, public radio.

a) Free Rider: The person who benefits but doesn’t pay (p. goods not run by gov prone to market failure)

Page 8: 020811 econ market failures 100m

Notes 19a, Title: “Market Failures” b) Tragedy of the Commons: Belongs to no

one, so anyone can take without supporting/paying, leading to market failure

Review:If ppl don’t pay, the service can’t be maintained,

gov has powers to collect money in ways private business doesn’t (taxes).

Or else the MARKET FAILS because of free riders.

control most the market. More pricey to start biz. Exp: airlines & cars.
