Market Failure and Environmental Externalities
Paryavaran ka pradushan (environmental pollution) ek negative externality ka mukhya udaharan hai, jisme private companies ke utpadan se tesre paksh (society) par bina kisi munafey ke extra cost padti hai.
Yahan: $MSC = \text{Marginal Social Cost}$, $MPC = \text{Marginal Private Cost}$, $MEC = \text{Marginal External Cost}$.
Coase Theorem Statement
"If property rights are well-defined and transaction costs are zero, private bargaining will lead to an efficient outcome regardless of the initial allocation of property rights."
Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC):
The EKC hypothesizes an inverted U-shaped relationship between per capita GDP and environmental degradation. As economic growth proceeds, pollution initially increases, reaches a peak, and subsequently declines due to technological efficiency and environmental demand.
