Week 2 - Discussion 2
Externalities
Externalities are costs or benefits
associated with consumption or production that are not incurred by the consumer
or producer and are therefore not reflected in market prices. The cost or
benefit of an externality remains external when falling to parties other than
the buyer or seller.
Respond to the following:
·
Describe some differences between a positive externality and a negative
externality.
·
Provide one example of a positive externality and a negative
externality, respectively. Explain your reasoning.
·
How could you solve your examples of externalities to attain market
efficiency?
·
Does the government need to intervene with externalities to effect
market efficiency?
Your initial post should be a minimum
of 300 words.
