Question

College education results in a positive externality for society. Explain whether the market failure that results from this externality is already being addressed with respect to college tuition in Texas.

Answer 1

Answer:

In simple words, positive externalilty refers to the phenomenon under which an etity or an individual takes advanatage of any sctions made bo some other entity. Education helps to make individual build a strong character which further results in overall development of the society.

   Free university education in Texas would be good for society in terms of quality education becoming cost effective to everyone and thus everyone would be able to sign up for college degree. This would end up making university education accessible to all and improve their standard of living.

         However, on the other hand, free university education might make them take things for granted, and the seriousness of education would be significantly reduced. At the very same period, it will be very costly for the state to employ a professional faculty to provide education.
