Introduction to Market Failure - Negative Externalities of Production

This video lesson introduces the concept of market failure and examines one type of market failure, a negative externality of production. If the producers of a good face lower costs than society as a whole, too much of the good will be produced and the market fails to achieve efficiency. In such a case, government may be needed to intervene and promote a more socially optimal level of output through the use of corrective taxes.

your videos are really helpful, however the welfare loss in this diagram has to be on the other side. (Above the MPB)

you should've taken this video down after a lot of people in this comment section pointed out how wrong this is, this video came up as one of the top suggestions and i studied for my exam through this and that's just pushing me straight to C grade all thanks to this.

Im an IB student of economics, and it is fair to say that the course as a whole is very challenging. There is a certain limit to what we can learn about all of these subjects within the two years. We are not studying them all at the level of a full university course. and it even states at the beginning of almost every ecos textbook for the IB that what we learn is not reality, in fact it even mentions that we should take into account that the course bases itself of ceteris paribus.

Definitely Inquisitor, please start making videos on the fundamentals of behavioral economics. I would be interested to see those.

@lnqusitor I'm not sure what you mean by "market equilibrium theory is wrong". It's not a theory as much as an observation. Markets do achieve equilibrium prices. Whether those prices are "right" or "wrong" is a question addressed in economists study of market failure. (you should watch that playlist for perspectives on efficient and inefficient allocation of resources by different markets).

Can you explain why it is supposed to be above the demand curve? In fact, either interpretation is correct. It is good that you are checking your facts, but in this case, there is no one correct "factual" interpretation, as both ways of illustrating the welfare loss are valid. The areas are identical, so the amount of welfare loss, if it can be quantified, is identical whether you indicate it as being the area of the triangle above or below demand.

Is sugar a negative externality of production or consumption? I feel the should be production keeping in mind that negative externality of consumption isn't always necessarily environmental problems because and since sugars production is causing a negative spillover to third parties i.e. the consumer.

This is one of the problems I have with IB and AP. They try to teach complex topics to people who are not mature enough to truly understand it. The end result is more indoctrination than education.

@lnqusitor Wow I can make a whole video answering this question. When I say "wrong" I mean is a a predictor of human behavior it is not very accurate therefore is a false efficiency. As Eugene Fama said, it is efficient under conditions that do not exist in real world markets. That being said I am approaching this from the standpoint of a behavioral economist, sadly there are not videos on the fundamentals of that on the web. Maybe that is niche for me to fill.

How did you determine where to sketch the line for the tax revenue. Seems like you've chosen a random point--

@JasonWelker 7 жыл бұрын

The are of tax revenue is the vertical distance between the two supply curves multiplied by the quantity demanded after the tax... A tax shifts MC up vertically by the $ amount of the tax... so for a single unit the amount of tax revenue is this distance.

Of course the problem is, since market equilibrium theory is wrong how does that effect the theory of when to impose and excise tax?

hey there, i have thought your descriptions of the topic is very well explained. However, i have noticed a vital mistake on your graph. You have shown the welfare loss below the demand curve and looking through different sources i have noticed it is supposed to be above the demand curve. Being an IB student it is hard enough just passing the exams, so check your facts before you explain something important. Thank you

Hi Jason! Just wondering where Market Failure occurs in Income Inequality? And what graphs we would use? and also government intervention to overcome it

@JasonWelker 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Brian, yes. Check out my newest video (from the 1.4 Market Failure playlist) on my channel. I explain what makes income inequality the result of a market failure.

@FrancescoSantora 12 жыл бұрын

The comments here reinforce the problem I am pointing out. the point is economics is being taught in IB and AP as fact and science instead of a philosophy. Those students then believe they have learned something about how the world works instead of just a flawed opinion. There are many theories in economics, the real question is why is only one taught at that level?

I'm no econ major like the rest of you, but why are the concepts so outdated? Today, the negative externality of consumption is much more critical: take two examples: gasoline & plastics. In fact, it can be argued that the externality actually occurs at the point of disposal.

wrong. Welfare loss.

I literally learnt the whole diagram using your video and gave a presentation and it was wrong. If you've realised that your diagram is wrong why dont u make another video and TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN CUZ ITS BLOODY WRONG. Thought you were a reliable source. CLEARLY NOT.
