See "The Problem of Social Cost", 1960, Journal of Law and Economics; republished in “The Firm, the Market, and the Law” Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 1988. Coase's argument begins by addressing a well-known problem of markets: externalities, otherwise known as the Spillover Effect. This occurs when someone other than the buyer must share the benefits or costs of a product. The classic example is pollution. Factories can either treat pollution -- which costs money -- or dump it into the air or water for free. If they choose to dump, they may save their customers some money, but citizens who live near the factory will also pay a price in higher death and disease rates, less fertile land, environmental catastrophes, etc. Sometimes the spillover effect is both positive and negative. An airport obviously benefits its customers, but it also subjects the local neighborhood to various externalities. Positive ones include increased local business; negative ones include noise pollution. An externality is an effect of a purchase or use decision by one set of parties on others who did not have a choice and whose interests were not taken into account. Classic example of a negative externality: pollution, generated by some productive enterprise, and affecting others who had no choice and were probably not taken into account.
