The Tragic Inefficiency Of the M-ECPR

Author

Listed:
  • Nicholas Economides

Abstract

We show that application of the so-called "Market Determined Efficient Component Pricing Rule," the "Efficient Component Pricing Rule," and, in general, of pricing rules that are based on private opportunity costs would perpetuate pricing inefficiencies and result in lower social surplus than pricing which is based on social opportunity cost rather than private opportunity costs.
