Select a current case and conduct research that reflects one or some of these issues:
1. The case should be one in which you can analyze the role of government, the concepts of market efficiency or inefficiency in allocating resources, and/or the concept of a public good.
2. Some good examples include any case in which there has been a failure of government regulation within a free market or in which a government’s allocation of resources toward a public good (parks, highways, etc.) has been misused.
3. Please select a relevant case study within the following general topics:
• Government regulation of environmental issues in the wake of disasters (e.g., the Gulf Oil Spill, Exxon Valdez Spill)
• Government regulation of financial markets
• Government nationalization or partial-nationalization of a business often left to private industry in other cases (building stadiums, operating direct businesses)
• Government incentives to business to promote economic growth
