Coasean Markets, Herbert J. Hovenkamp
All Faculty Scholarship
Coase’s work emphasized the economic importance of very small markets and made a new, more marginalist form of economic “institutionalism” acceptable within mainstream economics. A Coasean market is an association of persons with competing claims on a legal entitlement that can be traded. The boundaries of both Coasean markets and Coasean firms are determined by measuring not only the costs of bargaining but also the absolute costs of moving resources from one place to another.

At present consumption rates, this is enough oil to satisfy 100% of U.S. demand for well over 100 years.

It was a pursuit of …
