Pareto improvements occur when market exchanges take place. This refers to a situation where at least one individual can be made better off without making anyone else worse off by reallocating resources through voluntary trade or negotiations. While Pareto improvements may not be common in real-world situations, they do occur when individuals have different preferences and can benefit from trading goods or services in a mutually beneficial way.
