E. Napp Providing Public Goods In this lesson, students will examine the government’s role in providing public goods. Students will be able to define and/or identify the following terms: Public Good Free Rider Positive Externality Negative Externality A Market Failure A market failure occurs when the market does not provide the goods or services consumers need.

Negative Externalities Sometimes a good or service has an unintended side effect. This is called an externality. An example of this is pollution from automobiles.

Positive Externalities Sometimes a good or service has a positive side effect. An example of a positive externality is the cancer fighting properties in tomato sauce.
