Externality: Unveiling the Unseen Forces, Mastering the Art of Externalities
About this ebook
An externality, sometimes known as an external cost, is a cost or benefit that flows to an uninvolved third party as a result of the actions of another party. In economics, an externality is also referred to as an external cost. Externalities are components that are not priced and are involved in either consumer or producer market transactions. They can be thought of as unpriced components. One such example is the pollution of the air caused by motor vehicles. The makers of motorized transportation and the people who use it are not responsible for paying the cost of air pollution to society. This cost is borne by the rest of society. A further illustration of this is the contamination of water by mills and factories. All consumers of water are made worse off as a result of pollution, but the market does not pay them for the damage that they have suffered. In the context of a market, a positive externality occurs when the consumption of an individual contributes to the improvement of the well-being of other individuals, but the individual does not charge the third party for the benefit. Additionally, the third party is receiving a product at no cost to them. An illustration of this would be the flat that is located over a bakery and receives some free heat during the cold months. The bakery does not get any compensation from the residents of the flat for the advantage that they receive.
