2-1.) In most cases, private businesses would prefer not have government regulate how they achieve their interests, but there are situations where private businesses benefit from some types of regulations. One of the purposes of government includes the promotion of business to grow and expand, so that its outputs and outcomes benefit all of society. This is done via a trickle down affect that includes changes to employment opportunities, community incomes, business sales and services and state revenues. Government is also mandated, through another purpose, to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public from being harmed by threats or actions from internal or external entities. Business regulation by government is a process that restrains …show more content…
This collaborative effort between government and business to provide infrastructure, access and security is to ensure confidence for all participants so that they can communicate and do business on the internet, thus providing businesses a lucrative way to obtain sales. Another way government regulation benefits businesses are by administering research programs and grants that produce knowledge in areas like medicine, agriculture and communication, business in these fields can freely apply the knowledge gained onto the products and services they provide, but under the strict oversight of a relevant administrative bodies from which the source knowledge was derived from, such as the Food and Drug Administration which is under the Department of Health and Human Services. These businesses can than expand and deliver services to the public at lesser cost to them because research and trial were done under government funding. Other ways businesses can benefit from government regulation is through rationale interventions by government to intercede in areas of market failure. One such rationale is the protection of competition. This is where government protects a market from being controlled by a business holding 90 percent of the market
B) The intended purpose of Industrial or Economic regulation as applied to Oligopolies and Monopolistic market structures is used to reduce the market power of both! A government commission regulates the prices charged by “natural monopolists.” Industrial Regulation is necessary to prevent natural monopolies from charging monopoly rates which may harm consumers/ society. Industrial Regulation tries to establish pricing that will cover production costs and provide a fair amount of return to businesses. Price=Average Total Cost, where normal profit is accomplished. (governs pricing, output, & profits in specific industries).
The advantages of governmental involvement in our economy are the regulations and limitations set for business- such as setting a standard for minimum wage, regulating working conditions, preventing the exploitation of
Though the regulations on big businesses had a positive effect on the United states, it seems as if there are not enough. Within large corporations that are ran not completely, but partially by the government, there was a huge gap created that separated the rich and the poor. In the 19th century, during the Industrial Revolution, the structure of the United States economy was transformed. Rapid advancements in technology were made, causing factory owners to gain wealth and prestige. These advancements had a negative effect on the poor because it did not fit their daily spendings or budgets. There are two different regulations set towards big businesses, which are state regulation and federal regulation. A state regulation does not include regulations issued by executive branch agencies, decisions of federal courts,
“For example, the federal government regulates the quality of food and water, the safety of workplaces and airspaces, and the integrity of the banking and finance system.” (Bianco, Canon 2011, p 582) Regulations find out if the product is a market failure. There are two types of regulations, which are economic and social. “Economic regulations sets prices or conditions on entry of firms into an industry, where as social regulation address issues of quality and safety.” (Bianco, Canon 2011, p 582) Economic regulations are concerned with the price regulation of monopolies.
Even though the federal government is the main source of promotion and regulation of industry in America, regulation almost inescapably obstructs success
There are two types of regulations: economic and social. An Economic regulation is the prescription of price and output for a specific industry, as Social regulation is the prescription of health, safety, performance, and environmental standards that apply across several industries. Most economic regulations happened after the Great Depression, under the leadership of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in which a natural monopoly, like utilities, railroads, and communication would match that of a competitive market, thus setting a market-price cap. Understanding that in some aspects the government cannot stop a monopoly without causing market harm in some cases, so they attempt to rectify it. The government gives companies fair rates of returns, which is a price that allows a monopoly firm to earn a normal profit, similar to one gained when a companies marginal cost matches their marginal revenue. This is especially important, because when the government calls for the deregulation of a company, it leaves behind stranded assets, properties that lose values after the intervention. Other ways government can aid in the deregulation of a business is through privatization and contracting out; the government can either enlist a private firm to do a service on their behalf, or even transferring the public enterprise to private
Role of the US Constitution and Legal System in Business RegulationThe Constitution of the United States and their legal system have an impact on the guidance and operation of companies in any industry. In case a person breaks a law, for example, he or she may be obliged to pay a fine or even imprisoned in the US. It works the same way with companies: if a business is found responsible for allowing its employees to violate regulations this company is subject to a fine and even closedown. For instance, companies are responsible to guarantee that all employees are legally authorized to work in the United States. Occasionally employees without proper documentation are able to get a job. The law enforcement agencies perform raids on business
The United States has slowly conformed to the new ways of the Western policy of democratic socialism in order to achieve equality in the eyes of the law, but with this the necessary regulatory compliance of all citizens must be provided. If all American citizens do agree to abide by the rules implemented by the United States, the freedom that they came here for would be nonexistent, and they would no longer have the ability to truly live the infamous ‘American dream’. The economy is also beginning to move away from the capitalist ways and move toward an ideology of equality among the wealth and incomes of the people, and the only apparent way to achieve
Though business-like mechanisms can create a more efficient and potentially innovated government, government and business should be run differently, since they are inherently different in their conceptual values. Appleby explains some of these differences. He argues that no one can serve the public as it should be served unless he or she has a public-interest attitude with certain special characteristics. In addition, business has much narrower extent, while public officials are more broadly stimulated, with a breadth of view and a public-interest attitude. Government is complex as well as vastly interdependent with many other nonprofit and private organizations. Also, the government is subject to public scrutiny and public outcry. According to Denhardt and Denhardt, government acts, in concert with private and nonprofit groups and organizations, to seek solutions to the problems that communities face. In the process, the role of government is transformed from one of controlling to one of agenda setting, bringing the proper players to the table, facilitating, negotiating, or brokering solutions to public problems—often through coalitions of public, private, and nonprofit agencies. Finally, government is different from business
The government takes care of ensuring that businesses do things in an ethical way. No other forms of
(1.) An example of economic regulation in the movie is when they were passing out flyers to the working women. The women are working in shops that are not up to health standards. Alice Paul told the story about 146 women who dies because there were no fire escapes. Since women do not have the right to vote, they do not have a say in the economic regulations relating to the safety violations of the worker.
The answer to this question is pretty obvious money and influence. There are many examples of big government regulation. For example, the minimum wage is seen by some as necessary to make corporations and big-businesses pay their employees a living wage. However, the minimum wage is yet another regulation supported by big-business to harm competition. Big Business has thousands of lobbyists settele on, and parading about Washington advocating for their interests. Most small business owners take risks, work hard, and contribute to their communities opening a business and see how many licenses you need to obtain just to sell a simple good or service. We have a right to know which companies receive government contracts, how to collect insurance
Another key question is why do we have regulation? Regulation is meant to serve the best interest of the public. Regulation can serve the private interest, public interest or both. Almost every aspect of our daily life is regulated (as per Regulation: A Primer, page 1). Regulation is very comprehensive to the point that it extends to the moment we wake up to the moment we go back to bed at night. In the morning, there are regulations that dictate which airwaves are used by your radio station; in addition, food and drug agencies regulate the content of your toothpaste, soap,
The world is a complex and intricate machine, with many pieces to create a much larger thing. Government and society are simply pieces of the same machine that depend on each other. Likewise, government and society have the option to liberate or limit the activities of men and it is a necessary occurrence of life. Government is dependent on society because social behaviors exists wherever there are good or bad, proper or improper relationships between human beings. Humans install government from their own belief that human behavior is “self-centered” therefore society requires governing. Likewise, government oversight is needed in the economy as well as in society.
There are tаx regulations and actions to mitigate aggressive tаx planning and tаx avoidance. The aim is to align the tаx paid with the real economic activities reducing the tаx loss suffered by tаx authorities in the countries where the economic activities are done.
