Ronald Coase on Allocation - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 157 Allocation/Coase: In a model world of perfect allocation of purely private goods, externality problems of all kinds are unknown. This is also due to the assumed non-existence of transaction costs, i.e. monetary or time costs of negotiating, monitoring and enforcing contracts. Coase theorem: if and to the extent that individuals can negotiate for free on the exchange of goods and rights thereto, the initial distribution of rights of disposal is irrelevant for achieving allocation efficiency. External effects (influencing the market through decisions of uninvolved parties) therefore do not occur. (1) >R. Coase, >Coase-Theorem, >Efficiency. 1. R. Coase, The problem of social cost.
