select an industry that interests you, describe that industry, and
explain how government might impact the industry.
A paper template is provided below for this
assignment.
Use the Week 5 Microeconomic Paper Template [DOCX] to help
you get started (optional).
Instructions
Review your chapter readings and use the resources provided
to develop a 2–3 page paper on Economic Principles – Microeconomics
in which you:
Choose an industry that interests you. (Remember, an industry
is not a company. An industry is a group of companies doing the
same thing. Ford is a company. Automobile manufacturing is an
industry.)
Do research on your industry. In a few short paragraphs,
describe your selected industry:
Be sure to write in your own words.
Identify some of the major companies in this industry.
Identify the goods, and/or services this industry
produces.
Add anything else about the industry that you think is
interesting.
Keep track of your sources by copying their Internet
addresses (URLs). You can paste these URLs at the end of your paper
as your references.
Describe a microeconomic variable for your industry.
Microeconomic variables include prices, sales, production,
advertising, investment, and so on.
Include a graph, chart, or table showing this microeconomic
variable over time.
You do not need to create this graph, chart, or table. Find
one that has already been created and paste it into your paper. For
example, if your industry is U.S. automobile manufacturing, Google,
"U.S. automobile manufacturing over time." Select the "images"
option. Choose one of the graphs, charts, or tables. Then copy and
paste it into your paper.
Include a reference to the source of the graph, chart, or
table. Microeconomic relationships and market outcomes are covered
in Weeks 2–4.
Describe one way the government might impact this industry.
Examples might include price controls, regulations, taxes, or any
other way you can think of.
Government intervention through price controls, regulations,
taxes, and antitrust enforcement were covered in Weeks 2 and
4.
