Economic Theories on Market Failure - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 378 Market Failure/Economic Theories: Market failure exists (Fritsch 2014)(1) when goods are characterized by such strong positive externalities that they have the character of public goods (simultaneity of non-rivalry in consumption and the non-excludability of free riders), or cost structures are so strongly characterized by subadditivity that even the entire market volume can be provided by only one company at the lowest marginal costs (natural monopolies). >Externalities, >Social goods, >Free riders, >Moral hazard, >Subadditivity, >Marginal costs, >Natural monopolies. 1.
