The Economic Rationale of the
Modern State
Market Failure
▪ Market failure is the situation in which the conditions necessary to achieve the market
efficient solution fail to exist.
▪ In the extreme case of market failure the market will fail to exist and certain goods will
not be produced at all.
▪ Factors that brought the failure of markets to achieve efficient outcomes;
a) The existence of public goods and externalities
b) The presence of decreasing costs in case of monopoly
c) Incomplete information
d) Uncertainity
Cont. . .
▪ In the presence of market failure, one possible role for government would be to intervene in
the allocative function of the market and thus correct the market failure or introduce policies
that would compensate its effects (This effect has been identified by Musgrave).
▪ There are another two roles assigned to government. First is the stabilization role.
Economies periodically suffer from inflation, unemployment, lack of real growth and
balance of payments problems etc.
▪ Second, there is a regulatory role that governments play to enacts and enforces laws of
contract etc. This ensures that market trades and private exchanges take place smoothly.
The Allocative Role of Government
• The model of competitive markets there is a theory of property rights. It gives an
individual the right of ownership over some commodity (property).
• There are several examples in which governments pursue such an allocative
objective. For example, water supplies, fishing reserves, wild animal populations,
undistributed ecosystems and the broadcasting spectrum etc.
⮚ Another source of market failure arises from the existence of pure public goods.
⮚ Any single individual consumption of the good does not subtract from any other individual
consumption of a pure public good.
⮚ The two concepts non-excludability and non-rivalness differentiate between pure private
goods and pure public goods.
a) Non-excludability in case of pure private goods defines the ownership of the good.
The individual who possess the property right has the sole claim to enjoy the
benefits of the good.
b) Non-rivalness, a good is said to be non-rival in consumption when the marginal
cost of adding another person to consume the good is zero.
Public goods, externalities and mixed goods
▪ When pure public good is available for consumption then it must be provided collectively
either through private voluntary arrangement or publicly via the budget.
▪ An externality arises when the production or consumption activities of one party enters
directly as an argument into the production or utility function of another party.
▪ Externalities provided an allocative role for government.
▪ The decreasing cost industry and demand curve are shown in fig 2.4, which depicts that
average costs continually fall over the whole range of output.
▪ The pricing rule, which will produce an efficient allocation of resources which equates
price with marginal costs.
▪ Examples of decreasing cost industries include the public utilities gas, electricity, water
and sewerage.
▪ The allocative role arises due markets failure and voluntary arrangements to produce an
efficient solution.
▪ Allocative role of government are also summarized in fig 2.5, vertical axis represents
economies of scale in service provision.
▪ It represents the ratio of the marginal cost of one more user to the average cost of one
more user (MC/AC) holding service quality fixed.
▪ While, the horizontal axis represents the degree of option a user may have in consuming
the good.
The distributive role of government
▪ The distribution of wealth depends upon the distribution of rights to inherited wealth and
the accumulation of wealth.
▪ Resulting distribution of income, wealth and welfare may not be in accordance with what
society considers to be just.
▪ The source of this injustice might lie in the distribution of endowments or might be due to
the way in which the prices at which the endowments are valued.
The regulatory role of government
▪ The government could attempt to regulate the decisions of producers and consumer,
thereby reducing monopoly elements and externalities.
▪ Regulation limits the discretion and freedom of individuals through the imposition of
rules.
▪ Controls and restrictions are designed to increase the welfare of certain groups within
society by protecting their interests.
▪ Government regulates the money supply, the prices of utilities and nationalised industries
and many of the allocative decisions in the economy.
“Iftikhar Badshah” is discussant of this
topic. He will further discuss this topic in
class.

Week 9_Lec 1 The Economic Rationale of the Modern State.pptx

  • 1. The Economic Rationale of the Modern State
  • 2. Market Failure ▪ Market failure is the situation in which the conditions necessary to achieve the market efficient solution fail to exist. ▪ In the extreme case of market failure the market will fail to exist and certain goods will not be produced at all. ▪ Factors that brought the failure of markets to achieve efficient outcomes; a) The existence of public goods and externalities b) The presence of decreasing costs in case of monopoly c) Incomplete information d) Uncertainity
  • 3. Cont. . . ▪ In the presence of market failure, one possible role for government would be to intervene in the allocative function of the market and thus correct the market failure or introduce policies that would compensate its effects (This effect has been identified by Musgrave). ▪ There are another two roles assigned to government. First is the stabilization role. Economies periodically suffer from inflation, unemployment, lack of real growth and balance of payments problems etc. ▪ Second, there is a regulatory role that governments play to enacts and enforces laws of contract etc. This ensures that market trades and private exchanges take place smoothly.
  • 4. The Allocative Role of Government • The model of competitive markets there is a theory of property rights. It gives an individual the right of ownership over some commodity (property). • There are several examples in which governments pursue such an allocative objective. For example, water supplies, fishing reserves, wild animal populations, undistributed ecosystems and the broadcasting spectrum etc.
  • 5. ⮚ Another source of market failure arises from the existence of pure public goods. ⮚ Any single individual consumption of the good does not subtract from any other individual consumption of a pure public good. ⮚ The two concepts non-excludability and non-rivalness differentiate between pure private goods and pure public goods. a) Non-excludability in case of pure private goods defines the ownership of the good. The individual who possess the property right has the sole claim to enjoy the benefits of the good. b) Non-rivalness, a good is said to be non-rival in consumption when the marginal cost of adding another person to consume the good is zero.

  • 7. Public goods, externalities and mixed goods ▪ When pure public good is available for consumption then it must be provided collectively either through private voluntary arrangement or publicly via the budget. ▪ An externality arises when the production or consumption activities of one party enters directly as an argument into the production or utility function of another party. ▪ Externalities provided an allocative role for government.

  • 10. ▪ The decreasing cost industry and demand curve are shown in fig 2.4, which depicts that average costs continually fall over the whole range of output. ▪ The pricing rule, which will produce an efficient allocation of resources which equates price with marginal costs. ▪ Examples of decreasing cost industries include the public utilities gas, electricity, water and sewerage. ▪ The allocative role arises due markets failure and voluntary arrangements to produce an efficient solution.

  • 12. ▪ Allocative role of government are also summarized in fig 2.5, vertical axis represents economies of scale in service provision. ▪ It represents the ratio of the marginal cost of one more user to the average cost of one more user (MC/AC) holding service quality fixed. ▪ While, the horizontal axis represents the degree of option a user may have in consuming the good.

  • 14. The distributive role of government ▪ The distribution of wealth depends upon the distribution of rights to inherited wealth and the accumulation of wealth. ▪ Resulting distribution of income, wealth and welfare may not be in accordance with what society considers to be just. ▪ The source of this injustice might lie in the distribution of endowments or might be due to the way in which the prices at which the endowments are valued.
  • 15. The regulatory role of government ▪ The government could attempt to regulate the decisions of producers and consumer, thereby reducing monopoly elements and externalities. ▪ Regulation limits the discretion and freedom of individuals through the imposition of rules. ▪ Controls and restrictions are designed to increase the welfare of certain groups within society by protecting their interests. ▪ Government regulates the money supply, the prices of utilities and nationalised industries and many of the allocative decisions in the economy.
