PAPER TOPIC: Microbreweries in today’s market
Attached below are the references and the URL for the texbook
In this course, you will study topics such as opportunity costs,
supply and demand, consumer behavior, the elasticity of demand, market

market, anti-trust and regulations, international finance, and trade.
As part of this course, you will demonstrate the application of
microeconomics theory (as presented in your textbook) to a current
topic, issue, or event and write a formal paper.
Your paper will show how the theory you’ve learned from the course
and presented in your textbook applies to or explains a current
situation. The paper provides you with an opportunity to realize,
reflect, and explain the economics that exists all around us.
Your paper must include a graph used as an explanatory tool of the economic principles presented.
PAPER OUTLINE:
An introduction that introduces the selected topic and discusses how the analysis was conducted. Please include a thesis statement
A literature review that provides a detailed summary of the economic
circumstances and facts that serve as the foundation of the economic
analysis.
A narrative body that includes:
An economic analysis that uses the tools developed in the course
along with your graphical depiction of the economics applied to your
topic. Provide an explanation of the graphical analysis. Don’t leave it
to the reader to figure out your intention. The specific analysis will
depend on your chosen topic.
Statistics that support your topic and narrative.
Conclusion and a brief summary.

This discussion post is comprised of three questions. I will upload the files that you need to answer the questions properly. PLEASE ONLY SOURCE THE FILES I’LL UPLOAD. NO OUTSIDE SOURCES.
Question 1: In what ways did the Ferguson Law Enforcement Agencies drift away from their mission of public safety?Any thoughts on why a place like Ferguson? What does this have to do with Capitalism?
Question 2: Today we see a bit of a rebound of “get tough” with the actions of Mayor Eric Adams and efforts to peel back recent legislative reforms in areas such as bail. How can “get tough” be a political “winner” but still be bad for society?
Question 3: How would you reform the criminal justice system? What sacrifices would you be willing to make (society’s sacrifices – not yours personally, unless you want to insert yourself as how a typical person would be called upon to sacrifice).

Using the product or service that you have selected for your assignments, read and reply to each of the prompts below:
Would you classify your product or service as inferior, normal, or luxury?
What are its substitutes and complements, if any?
In what ways does your product or service provide utility to your customers?
Name one strong utility feature and one weak utility feature of the product or service.
As described in the lecture, discuss one factor that has shifted demand OR supply of your product or service within the last year.

First, choose a government policy where the government intervenes in a market. This could be a local,
state, or federal government policy. It could be a tax, a subsidy, a direct regulation, a price control, etc.
Be sure to use an actual law that is (was) in place, and not just a general kind of policy (for example,
don’t talk about subsidies in general, but instead talk about a specific subsidy for some good in the
world around us). I advise you to choose something that interests you, as the assignment requires some
reading and research into the policy and the market affected. An interest in the policy you choose will
make the process much more enjoyable and will most likely lead to a better result. Document and
explain what the government intervention is/was, i.e. what action the government has taken, what
markets they were/are targeting, and how the policy is designed to work. It could be a historical policy
or a contemporary one, it is your choice.
Second, explain why the government has engaged in this policy. Relate this purpose to the possible
motivations for government policy that we have discussed in class – ethical/moral reasons, equity
reasons, and efficiency reasons, etc. Explain the primary arguments for and against this particular policy.
Third, explain what the implications from this policy have actually been. Examine both the distributional
implications and the efficiency implications. Has it worked as it was supposed to? Why or why not? If
you are choosing a relatively new policy, you may not be able to find much information or analysis about
what actually is happening. However, use anecdotes and the results from similar policies to try and
understand what the likely impacts will be.
Finally, conclude with your own perspective on this policy. Indicate whether or not you agreed with the
reasoning behind the decision to implement the policy and whether or not you would consider it a
success. In other words, characterize this policy as either an example of government failure or successful
government intervention.

Go to the internet and find an news article posted within the last month that discusses labor union formation and activity, summarize key points and post in Discussions area.
Please note that the goal of this discussion is to read, understand, and discuss recent news using microeconomic terminology. The article should be from an on-line newspaper or magazine. Materials posted on educational websites, like www.thebalance.com, www.khanacademy.org, and so on, are not considered news articles even if they were recently updated and contain material related to the discussion topic.
Step 2: In your initial response to the topic you have to answer all questions:
Do unions engage in ethical behavior? Please explain.
Historically, what factors precipitated the formation of unions? Please explain.
Do you expect union activity to increase or decrease globally? Please explain.
Summarize key points of the article that you found in Step 2 of the discussion assignment, and post in the Discussions area.
Reflection – the students also should include a paragraph in the initial response in their own words, using microeconomic terminology, reflecting on specifically what they learned from the assignment and how they think they could apply what they learned in the workplace or in everyday life.
