The Becker - Coase Theorem Reconsidered ∗
We reconsider the well known Becker Coase (BC ) theorem according to which changes in divorce law should not affect divorce rates. We do that in a context of households that consume public goods in addition to private goods. For the Becker-Coase theorem to hold in this setting, utility must be transferable both within marriage and upon divorce, and the marginal rate of substitution between publ...
متن کاملTransaction Costs and the Robustness of the Coase Theorem*
This paper explores the extent to which ex ante transaction costs may lead to failures of the Coase Theorem. In particular we identify the basic hold-up problem that arises whenever the parties to a Coasian negotiation have to pay ex ante costs for the negotiation to take place. We then show that a Coasian solution to this problem is not available: a Coasian solution typically entails a negotia...

Statisticians, though, have a different opinion. Statistical interest on the aspects of the game has been steadily rising over the past decades....
متن کاملCoase theorem, complexity and transaction costs
This paper, by introducing complexity considerations, provides a dynamic foundation for the Coase Theorem and highlights the role of transaction costs in generating inefficient outcomes in bargaining/negotiation. We show that, when the players have a preference for less complex strategies, the Coase Theorem is valid in negotiation models with repeated surplus and endogenous disagreement payoffs...
متن کاملDetrimental externalities , pollution rights , and the “ Coase theorem ”
This paper, which builds on Chipman (The economist’s vision.
