Coase theorem

The Coase theorem postulates the economic efficiency of an economic allocation or outcome in the presence of externalities. The theorem is significant because, if true, it would be possible for privat

…a major shift from taxation from income and sales taxes to tax on pollution – the so-called "green tax shift". Better defined property rights. The Coase Theorem states that assigning property rights will lead to an optimal solution, regardless of who receives them, if transaction costs are trivial and the number…
By graphing the Jones family's marginal benefit curve and the marginal cost curve for pear tree production, we can find the efficient number of trees
By graphing the Jones family's marginal benefit curve and the marginal cost curve for pear tree production, we can find the efficient number of trees to be produced for the Jones family alone (this occurs when MBJones = MC), which happens to be 3. However, when we consider the positive externality we can see that the marginal benefit to society is greater than the marginal benefit to the Jones family alone. Using the new marginal benefit curve, MB
