QUESTION 5: MICROECONOMICS • Discuss in detail the causes of market failure. (26 marks) • Examine the impact of income inequality in the economy. (10 marks) INTRODUCTION Market failure occurs when the market is unable to achieve the efficient allocation of scarce resources and is therefore not able to achieve the best available outcome.  (Accept any other correct relevant response.) (Max. 2) (2) BODY: MAIN PART Missing markets/public goods • Missing markets can only form under certain conditions and when these conditions are absent, markets struggle to exist.  • Public goods are not provided for by market mechanism because producers cannot withhold the goods for non-payment and since there is often no way of measuring how much a person consumes, there is no basis to establish a market price.  • Merit goods are those goods that are highly desirable for the general welfare of the people and are often not highly rated by the market  • If people have to pay market prices for them, relatively little would be consumed  • There are those goods like cigarettes, and alcohol, which are over-consumed in a free market  • Government can ban their consumption or reduce it by means of taxation such as excise duties and by providing information about their harmful side effects  • Producers produce goods in order to make a profit, hence they produce only goods which they can earn a profit, hence, they fail to produce enough  • Public goods are consumed by the community and no one can be excluded from consuming the product  • As a result of this non-excludability, the private sector is usually unwilling to provide these public goods  Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 15 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2023) ECONOMICS P2 15 Imperfect information/lack of information • Consumers, workers and entrepreneurs do not always have the necessary information at their disposal to make rational decisions  • Consumers do not have perfect information through advances in technology, increase the amount of information to which people have access  • Workers may be unaware of job opportunities outside their current employment  • Entrepreneurs may lack information about the costs, availability and productivity of some factors of production and may be operating on the basis of incorrect information  • Incomplete information about production techniques, cost of production, needs and wants of households etc. means that factors of production are employed without answering the three basic questions of the economy  • Producers do not know exactly what the demand will be and thus cannot adjust their supply to be more efficient  Immobility of the factors of production • Labour may take time to move into new occupation and geographically, to meet the changes in consumer demand • Physical capital e.g. factory buildings, telephone lines, bridges etc. are not moveable at will, this capital lasts for years but cannot be moved to fit changes in demand  • Technological applications change production methods, but it takes time for most industries to adjust with greater technological changes  • Markets may not respond to changes in consumer demand if resources cannot be easily reallocated, this means that businesses will not use factors of production optimally  • Workers are reluctant to change to another job, the worker has to give notice, this means that supply of labour will not always meet the demand for it, therefore, markets fail  Imperfect distribution of income and wealth • Market system is neutral on issues of income distribution  • Discrimination distorts earnings for women and minority groups, disabled persons and people subject to illness and incapacity  • The market produces goods and services only for those who can afford and this leads to some people having too many goods while others have too few goods  • If initial distribution is unequal, the final distribution will be unequal too and for this reason it is often argued that the market fails  Imperfect competition • In market economies competition is often impaired by power of certain producers to prevent new businesses from entering the market  • Power often lies to a greater extent with producers than with consumers and this leads to inefficient allocation of resources  Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 16 16 ECONOMICS P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2023) • Most businesses operate under conditions of imperfect competition that allow producers to restrict output, raise prices and produce where price exceeds marginal cost.  • Imperfect market does not allow price negotiations.  Externalities • Externalities are the effects of the actions of one party on other parties who was not involved in the transaction.  • They cause market mechanism to allocate resources inefficiently because the make price does not reflect the full costs/benefits of the economic activity.  • The market price only reflects private costs and private benefits.  Negative externalities • These are costs to the third party that are not included in the market price e.g. pollution.  • The costs of negative externalities such as ill health are not paid by the producers  • These harmful goods are often over produced in the economy which is not socially desirable  Positive externalities • These are benefits to the third party from the actions of another party which are not included in the market price e.g. education, health.  • Markets fail when goods with positive externality are often under produced and the government steps in to produce for the shortfall  (Accept any other correct relevant response) (Allocate a maximum of 2 marks for mere listing of
