ECON 158: Economics of Regulation
Units: 4
Examines government regulation of market processes (“economic regulation”), using the principles of economic analysis. The course will be divided into three parts. First will be an in-depth look at the history of regulation, primarily in the United States, to provide a firm understanding of the scope, evolution and ubiquity of regulation. Second will be the theoretical treatment of several key regulatory issues: natural monopoly, oligopoly, price-setting and franchising. Finally, regulation (and in some cases deregulation) of certain specific industries will be explored: telecom, energy, transportation, solid waste and financial services.
