Agriculture Economics QUESTION #11906
Question 1
According to the Coase Theorem, if property rights are clearly defined and transaction costs are low, an externality problem can be resolved through:
  • Government price controls only
  • Private bargaining between the affected parties, regardless of who initially holds the rights✔️
  • Complete elimination of the market
  • Mandatory production quotas
Correct Answer Explanation
The Coase Theorem holds that with well-defined property rights and negligible transaction costs, private bargaining alone can efficiently resolve externalities.
