Countries that do not believe in comparative advantage

prepare a three to four page typewritten double-spaced paper on a current microeconomics topic that is pertinent to class material. This can be chosen from the textbook, newspapers, magazines, or current economics periodicals.

Here are some sample topics:

Countries that do not believe in comparative advantage

How do people respond to economic incentives?

Stories of positive or negative externalities

What’s the best healthcare system in the world?

Examples of behavioral economics

Differences between monopolies, monopolistic competition, oligopolies, and the perfectly competitive market

Income inequality throughout the world

Length – 3 to 4 pages in length, double-spaced, with 1 inch margins. Any paper that deviates from these requirements will be penalized (this does not include the title page and the table of contents). Arial or New Times Roman (12 pt) will be the only acceptable fonts. Use headings within the report when appropriate. A table of contents page is necessary. Plan the paper carefully so as to develop an organized and non-redundant report. It should be organized and assembled as a continuous report and should not appear to be several independent segments bound together. You must have a minimum of five sources. Please cite your sources using MLA or APA Format (the Writing Center can offer assistance if you do not know how to do this).
