Question:

This question is based on Externalities and the Coase Theorem on the book's MyEconLab at www.myecon-lab.com. Consider a steel producer that dumps one litre of toxic waste into a river for every tonne of steel produced. A fishing camp located downstream bears the cost of cleaning up this toxic waste: $10 for every litre. Discuss how negotiations between the steel producer and the fishing camp may result in an allocatively efficient level of steel output even without direct government involvement. Does the nature of the negotiations depend on who owns the river?
