Market Failure
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Everything you have learned so far describes a market that works. Prices rise where goods are wanted, resources follow the prices, and nobody had to be told what to do. This lesson is about the cases where that machinery gets the answer wrong: where the market produces too much of something harmful, or too little of something valuable, and keeps doing so however long it is left alone.
You will learn what economists mean by market failure, why the phrase is about a misallocation of resources rather than about anyone going bankrupt, and how to separate a private cost from a social cost. You will meet externalities, the effects that spill over onto people who were never part of the transaction, in both their negative and positive forms. And you will work through what a government can actually do about it, which is the question the specimen paper devoted its entire second section to.
