Problems with placing value on externalities
a. Some externalities may hard to be estimated in monetary values (i.e. pollution)
b. It is hard to estimate value of human life (i.e. When building a new hospital or highway)
c. Some times it is possible to estimate the value of an externality, but it may be expensive and lead to even bigger misallocation of resources
