| No known study, however, has quantified this positive externality, and critics argue that temporary reverse transfer students are "taking over" academic courses and that post-baccalaureate reverse transfer students are "crowding out" traditional students from vocational programs (Townsend & Dever, 1999; Townsend & Lambert, 1999; Townsend, 2001b). Were it not for the inherent subjectivism of these matters, we would be tempted to claim that public education is an externality all right, but a negative not a positive one. An example of a negative externality is when a manufacturer pollutes, creating an external cost--the harm caused by the pollution--borne by the people living nearby. |
