Abstract
Ronald Coase received the Nobel Prize in 1991 for his discovery and clarification of the significance of ("Coase theorem," ) transaction costs and property rights for the institutional structure and functioning of the economy. Coase writes ("Coase theorem," ) two articles in particular: “The Nature of the Firm’ (1973), which introduces the concept of transaction cost to explain the nature and limits of firms and “The Problem of Social Cost ("Ronald coase," )” (1960), Which suggests that well-defined property rights could overcome the problem of externalities.
In “The Problem of Social Cost”, Coase laid a critical foundation of modern law and economics- the so-called Coase theorem. ("Coase theorem," ). Formulated in a variety of ways the Coase theorem might state that: ‘when the parties can bargain successfully, the initial allocation of legal rights does not matter.” According to the Coase ("Coase theorem," ) Theorem, acquiring rights will be by those who value them most highly, which creates an incentive to discover and implement ("Coase theorem," ) transactions ("Coase theorem," ) cost minimizing governance forms. ("Coase theorem," )
The Coase Theorem describes the economic efficiency of an economic allocation ("Coase theorem," ) in the presence of externalities. The theorem states that when trade is an externality possible there are no transaction costs. The bargaining will lead to an efficient outcome regardless of the initial allocation of property rights. The Coase theorem ("Coase theorem," ) is an essential basis for most modern economic analyses of government regulation, especially in the case of externalities. ("Coase theorem," ).
