Externalities: Externalities are unintended side effects or consequences, positive or negative, of economic activities impacting third parties not involved in the transaction. They occur when the actions of individuals or businesses generate spillover effects on others' welfare or resources, without compensation. Examples include pollution affecting communities or innovations benefiting industries beyond the innovator. See also Compensation, Economy.

Ronald Coase on Externalities - Dictionary of Arguments

Mause I 157
Externality/External Effects/Coase: as long as individuals can negotiate the exchange of goods and rights free of charge, the initial distribution of rights of disposal is irrelevant. This means that there are no external effects.
Externality/Coase: Thesis: an externality always has two "injuring parties": the author of an impairment suffers because he is required to cease or reduce his activity.
