A Theory of Nonmarket Failure: Framework for Implementation Analysis

THE principal rationale for public policy intervention lies in the inadequacies of market outcomes. Yet this rationale is really only a necessary, not a sufficient, condition for policy formulation.1 Policy formulation properly requires that the realized inadequacies of market outcomes be compared with the potential inadequacies of nonmarket efforts to ameliorate them. The "anatomy" of market failure provides only limited help in prescribing therapies for government success.2 That markets may fail to produce either economically optimal or socially desirable outcomes has been elaborated in a well-known and voluminous

The Fable of the Bees: An Economic Investigation

EVER since A. C. Pigou wrote his books on "welfare,"' a divergence between private and social costs has provided the main argument for instituting government action to correct allegedly inefficient market activities. The analysis in such cases has been designed less to aid our understanding of how the economic system operates than to find flaws in it to justify policy recommendations. Both to illustrate the argument and to demonstrate the nature of the actual situation, the quest has been for real-world examples of such defects.

On the Economic Evaluation of Natural Resources

Of late, a number of articles pertaining to problems in the economic evaluation of natural resources have been published in Voprosy ekonomiki. A still greater number of articles reaching the editors could not be published owing to the lack of space and, with the consent of the authors, the basic content of these articles has been printed in the journal's editorial review section.

Problems of Differential Rent in the Collective Farms

The discussion on differential rent under socialism conducted by the journal Voprosy ekonomiki has evoked a wide response in the scholarly community. At the same time, questions of rent have been discussed or touched upon to some extent in the journals Ekonomika sel'skogo khoziaistva and Planovoe khoziaistvo; in the 1960 collection issued by the Academy of Social Sciences (Party Central Committee), Socialist Agriculture at the Present Stage and Problems of Agrarian Theory [Sotsialisticheskoe sel'skoe khoziaistvo na sovremennom etape i voprosy agrarnoi teorii]; and in the collection issued in 1960 by the USSR Academy of Sciences' Institute of Economics, Development of the Collective Economy of the Collective Farms [Razvitiia obshchestvennogo khoziaistva kolkhozov]. There have also been contributions in the journals and annals of the higher educational institutions. In the autumn of 1958 the Department of economics of Moscow State University arranged a discussion of differential rent. (1)
