Microeconomics

Select one topic, then post and concisely defend your view. You may post to both
topics, but are required to only select one for your initial post. Be careful to identify the positive reasons for your
normative position. The topics to choose from are:

  1. Select a Government Regulation. Identify a particular government regulation of your choosing that in your
    opinion has either been successful or a failure. Briefly state the original purpose of this regulation and whether
    it has changed over time. Then, concisely defend your view on whether YOU favor the expansion or reduction
    of the enforcing regulatory agency.
  2. Anti-trust Measures. Identify a particular market that has experienced government anti-trust efforts or you
    think should have antitrust efforts. Analyze what type of market structure was in existence at the time of the
    anti-trust measures or is in currently. Then justify whether the market justified(s) the intervention.
