Teaching Activity: Spot the Market Failure
- Level:
- AS, A-Level, IB
Last updated 17 May 2021
Here's a simple teaching activity on market failure that is ideal for setting as a task for students who are learning remotely.

The picture on the Spot the Market Failure pdf download contains lots of examples of market failure.
How many can students spot - and explain?
An extension activity might be to ask students to suggest (and perhaps even draw!) additional examples of market failure that might be added to the picture.
