Market Failure: An IGCSE Economics Review

Market failure is a situation where the free market outcome is not efficient, meaning that the total economic welfare is not maximized. It is caused by a variety of factors, such as externalities, public goods, monopoly power, and imperfect information. Externalities refer to a cost or benefit that is not experienced by the parties involved in the transaction, but is experienced by a third party. This can have an effect on the market price and lead to market failure. Public goods are goods that are non-rival and non-excludable, meaning one person’s consumption of the good does not reduce the amount of the good available to others and no one can be excluded from consuming the good. Because of this, private companies cannot make a profit from providing public goods, leading to market failure.

Market failures can be caused by externalities, which are costs or benefits that are not taken into account by buyers or sellers in a market. The Coase Theorem is an economic principle that states that if transaction costs are low enough, the market will be able to reach an efficient equilibrium without any government intervention. A market failure is not necessarily an indication of a poorly functioning market, but rather a way of measuring the effects of externalities on the market.
