Group of answer choices
Public good
Price control
Market power
Externality
A market failure occurs when there is an inefficient allocation of the goods in the society
Public good-there is an inefficient allocation because the goods are underproduced than the socially optimum level
Market power-the firm having a market power will set MC=MR instead of P=MC for producing the goods which will create an inefficient allocation of the goods
Externality = The externality whether its positive or negative will make the goods allocation inefficient as the goods would be underproduced or overproduced
Price control does not causes inefficient allocation but a shortage or surplus of the goods by setting the minimum or maximum price.
