Market Failure

What is Market Failure

The term "market failure" comes from the field of neoclassical economics and refers to a scenario in which the distribution of commodities and services by a free market is not Pareto optimal. This circumstance frequently results in a loss of significant economic value. Failures in the market can be understood as situations in which people' pursuit of their own self-interest leads to outcomes that are not efficient, outcomes that, from the perspective of society, have room for improvement. The concept can be traced back to the Victorian philosopher Henry Sidgwick, who is credited with being the first person to use the term in the field of economics around the year 1958.A number of factors, including public goods, time-inconsistent preferences, information asymmetries, non-competitive markets, principal-agent difficulties, and externalities, are frequently linked to market failures.
