    Externalities, by definition, are the benefits or costs that affects someone who is not directly involved in the production or consumption of a good or service (Hubbard et al., 2012).

    Governments can utilise various methods to address externalities and demerit goods. Externalities are third party spillover effects, and can be both positive and negative, and can come from consumption or production sides. Demerit goods are goods that either cause negative externalities, or are goods that governments deem unacceptable for their citizens, for instance smoking and gambling. In the case of negative externalities and demerit goods, when goods are over-consumed as their marginal social costs exceed the marginal social benefit, the government may adapt the use of an output tax to prevent the over-consumption of the good.…

    In private transactions, the wider social effects are generally not taken into account.

Private producers will continue production while it is profitable, but, if there is a social cost, such as pollution, the more they produce, the higher the social cost - the more…

    For example, if we take any business organization as one party and the customer is the other party, they both have the trade of the organization sells or provide goods or services, and the customer pays to obtain this good or service.
