摘要：In this paper, we propose a learning application of the theory of market failure as part of a degree in Economics. In particular, we propose a classroom experiment to understand the concept of positive externality in the decision making of individuals. With this experiment, students participate directly in a game that allows them to see how externalities can appear in other situations. We are moving away from the typical examples over the well-being of a consumer, or the production possibilities of a firm affected by the actions of another agent in the economy. With even just a slight effect from our classroom experience, we can say it is extremely motivating for students, and also, it opens a new methodological framework in which student participation in learning becomes crucial.
