Transcript text: Fill In the Blank Question
Well-defined property rights, low transaction costs, and resources that naturally gravitate toward the highest-valued function describe the $\square$ theorem. (Enter one word in the blank.)
Solution
The answer is: Coase
Explanation:
The statement describes the Coase Theorem, which is a concept in economics and law. The Coase Theorem posits that if property rights are well-defined and transaction costs are low, resources will be allocated efficiently to their highest-valued use, regardless of who initially owns the rights. This is because parties will negotiate to correct any inefficiencies.
