During the 1950s and 1960s, many economists were convinced that externalities were a cause of "market failures" -- because individuals are not capable of internalizing the costs their actions impose to others -- and therefore that the intervention of the state was necessary to allow an ...
What is market failure? Under what conditions do markets fail?Market:A market is an order made up of different institutions, social relations, and infrastructures that facilitate the convergence of people to buy and sell provisions such as products and services in exchange for money in a fr...

We present a model of a capacity market in an isolated market with an ambitious renewable energy policy. While an energy-only market within an optimized investment equilibrium is optimal in theory, we show that a capacity market can be an effective remedy when less-than-optimal circumstances migh...

In his model comparative statics are problematic because of the multiplicity of equilibria, so he did not address issues of (self-)regulation. The most important modelling difference is that Bester allows a seller to sell to several buyers simultaneously, with no externalities between trades. As a...
Market regulations are justified when they can alleviate market imperfections such as externalities, which prevent the market from optimal resource allocation and maximized welfare. Burning fossil fuels that emit greenhouse gases today may for example have big future societal costs that are not reflected...
