Card 7 / 16:
Are positive externalities reflected in market demand curves? Why or why not?
No. A market demand curve reflects only the private benefits of those who are consuming the product. Positive externalities are benefits that spill over to third parties, so they create social benefits, and are not captured by a market (or private benefit) demand curve.
