Explain how the basic concept of marketable permits or ‘cap-and-trade” can be applied to regulate fisheries and air pollution emissions. What is the meaning of a ‘cap’ in the context of regulating a fishery and an air pollutant? How would potential future changes in the cap influence the price of permits and the viability of the permit market? How would a regulator’s objective in setting a cap be different for a fishery compared to an air pollutant? What determines whether permits will be traded in the fishery or for the air pollutant and does it matter if there are restrictions on the type and number of trades that can occur?

Natalie Koebel spent much of her childhood learning the art of cookie-making from her grandmother. They passed many happy hours mastering every type of cookie imaginable and later creating new recipes that were both healthy and delicious. Now at the start of her second year in college, Natalie is investigating various possibilities for starting her own business as part of the requirements of the entrepreneurship program in which she is enrolled. A long-time friend insists that Natalie has to somehow include cookies in her business plan. After a series of brainstorming sessions, Natalie settles on the idea of operating a cookie-making school. She will start on a part-time basis and offer her services in people’s homes. Now that she has started thinking about it, the possibilities seem endless. During the fall, she will concentrate on holiday cookies. She will offer individual lessons and group sessions (which will probably be more entertainment than education for the participants).…

Emily works for a small software company and oversees software quality assurance. The company recently developed an inventory control system for a national clothing manufacturer. The system gathers sales information on an hourly basis from clothing retailers nationwide. This information is then used by all departments (including the accounting, shipping, and ordering departments) to control the functions of the clothing manufacturer. Emily suspects that the inventory functions of the system are not sufficiently tested, although they have passed all their contracted (legal) tests. However, she is pressured by her employers to sign off on the software. Whilst she is only required to perform tests which have been agreed to in the original contract, her considerable experience in software testing has led her to be concerned over the quality of the system. Her employers say that they will go out of business if they do not deliver the software on time. Emily knows that if any section of…
Naboni Enterprises was established in 1991 by Mr. Nicholas Menyani following the liberalization of the Zambian economy by the government. Prior to 1991, there was little or no scope for the private sector to own and run business in the mining, agricultural and commercial sectors of the economy. All this changed in 1991 when the government decided to liberalize the economy. State owned companies were privatized and the window was opened for the private sector to invest in major sectors of the economy. In the case of the mining sector, the government further offered tax incentives to attract investment. Nicholas Menyani had worked as a technician for a mining company in Kitwe for twenty-five years before his retirement in 1985. When he retired, he did odd jobs in and around Kitwe. However, the income from doing the odd jobs was typically insufficient for him to meet his daily needs and Menyani longed for an opening that would bring him a steady income. The opportunity came when,…

A Greek yogurt maker owns and operates a production facility in Switzerland. Within the next six months, the Swiss government has stipulated that all local food producers must list the genetically modified ingredients (GMO) contained in the product on its packaging label. GMO foods or, as critics commonly call them, "Frankenfoods," in honor of Frankenstein, use genetic material that have been altered using genetic engineering techniques in making the particular food. Companies are oftentimes reluctant to post this information, fearing that it might result in people choosing not to use their products. Although the labeling of GMO products in the marketplace is required in 64 countries, many others, including Greece, do not impose this regulation. Interestingly, reporting this information on the label is not required in the United States and no distinction between marketing GMO and non-GMO foods are presently recognized by the US FDA. Dealing with growing demand for Greek style yogurt…
