Externality

The cost or benefits of a transaction to parties who do not directly participate in it. Externality can be either positive or negative.

On the other hand, the merger can drive a competitor out of business, which results in layoffs and reduced wealth, which can hurt a community. Externality is also called spillover or the neighborhood effect. See also: External benefit, External cost.
