Road map1) Consumers choice
2) Equilibrium, Producers(Pareto efficiency)
3) Market Failures
- fixed cost: monopoly and oligopoly
- externalities and public goods
- asymmetric information

Externalities So far: utilities on own actions only
Reality: we are not islands
An externality is a cost or a benefit imposed upon someone by actions taken by others.
- benefit - positive externality.
- cost - negative externality.

Examples of Negative Externalities Air or water pollution. Loud parties next door. Traffic congestion. Second-hand cigarette smoke. Increased insurance premiums due
to alcohol or tobacco consumption. Bad smell!

Examples of Positive Externalities
A well-maintained property. High “human” capital A pleasant cologne or scent worn by
the person seated next to you. A scientific advance.

Today’s questions:
Efficiency of interactions with externalities Too much or too little activity with
externality? How can we reestablish Pareto efficiency?
– taxes
– creating markets
– social norms

Example: Negative externality
Two producers: steel mill and fishery A steel mill produces steel It can also choose the level of pollution
The pollution adversely affects a nearby fishery

When negative externality – too much activity in decentralized markets
You will show in PS that when externality if positive – too little activity.

Social norm: “do not pollute” Moral cost Many norms can be explained using
efficiency argument
Social norms: moral cost
