- Topic: CAN GOVERNEMET INTERVENTIONS CONTROL OR CONTRIBUTE TO MARKET FAILURES?
Market economic activities sometimes result in undesirable outcomes. Cite examples / case studies where government intervention has resulted in controlling or contributing to market failures.
Suggested examples / case studies:
US government interventions (banking and financial institutions, housing market, auto industry) during 2008 / 2009 financial crisis
US health system and continuing accelerating cost of providing health care
Coal mining and coal power plants
Current Greek crisis resulting from:
financially unsustainable retirement / pension benefits
oligopoly in various industries including pharmaceutical industry
Tax structure
Government ownership and management of air ports
Government ownership and management of utility companies, e.g. South African Government’s O&M of electric production
UK’s health system
Above examples are suggestions only. You may identify other examples / case studies that can illustrate your case whether government interventions can control or contribute to market failures.
For Term paper, each student will pick a case study of her/his choice and submit APA style 5-7 pages long double space, word document (e-file) and hard copy. Students can insert relevant quantifiable input and graphs of their respective case of market model if applicable. Term papers will be checked for plagiarization, so be very careful to ensure that the report is in your own words and that direct quotes from sources are indicated and are properly attributed. Formal writing, such as this should contain minimum direct quotes. Direct quotes should not exceed 5% of the text. Bibliography and citations must be referred.
