If a good or service gives rise to externality, should the government provide it?

Question

Hi! This is a 15-mark economics essay, may I know what will be your key points?

Answer 1

Yes, it's better.

Imagine cost of the road, cost of the public light, cost of all public infrastructure. Impossible to define who use more than an another.

But, for those who use ise, they travel faster, they get public energy... and they could have better life and make better jobs without problem.

Good for the growth, you just have to define how cost (tax), and how give for citizens and workers.
