Market Failure and Government Policy

Market Failure and Government Policy: This short section starts the chapter with the observation that market failure provides an important rationale for government involvement in the economy.  It should be emphasized that market failure can take a number of forms: imperfect competition, externalities, information asymmetries (as in Chapter 15), provision of public goods, etc.  The concept of Pareto efficiency and the role of cost-benefit analysis in assessing various regulatory responses to market failure are central to all topics that follow in this chapter.
