ABSTRACT:
In 1920 Arthur Pigou introduced the concept of externalities in his book “The Economics of Welfare”1 as those costs and benefits that are imposed on society but are not addressed by the pricing system of a free economy. (Pigou, 1920)The pricing system is an extraordinarily powerful concept that automatically regulates behaviour and action to ensure the best use of resources. Externalities, however, cause the pricing system to break down and Pigou argued that it was the State’s responsibility to intervene with a “Pigovian tax” on individuals or businesses that create adverse effects on society.
