Explanation

The Coase theorem states that private parties can efficiently address externalities if there are no transaction costs involved. This allows them to negotiate and reach mutually beneficial agreements without external intervention. Factors such as equal bargaining power, initial property rights, the number of affected parties, or government enforcement are not necessary conditions for this outcome.
