TAILIEUCHUNG - Lecture Principles of economics - Chapter 10: Externalities and property rights

This chapter focuses on an issue that has been in the background since Chapter 1: externalities. The Efficiency Principle states that market equilibrium is efficient, assuming that all of the relevant benefits from consumption and all of the relevant costs of production are included. We now analyze market equilibria in which this assumption is not true. | Externalities and Property Rights Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education (Asia).
