Resolving a Dispute Over Resource Use

An economic principle suggests that when property rights are clearly defined and the costs of negotiation are negligible, private parties can often resolve disputes over harmful effects on their own. Analyze the following situation based on this principle. In your analysis, explain how an efficient outcome could be reached under two different legal assumptions: 1) The fishing operation has the legal right to clean water, and 2) The factory has the legal right to discharge waste.
