This document provides a comprehensive overview of market failure, explaining when and why the market mechanism fails to allocate resources efficiently. It covers key concepts such as social, allocative, technical, and productive efficiency. The notes detail major sources of market failure including externalities (positive and negative), public goods, common resources, asymmetric information, and market power (monopolies/oligopolies). It also explores the tragedy of the commons, the free-rider problem, the Coase theorem, and private vs. government solutions such as taxation, subsidies, regulation, state provision, and property rights. Ideal for A-Level, IB, or introductory university economics students.
