According to Davide Colander, government acts like a “referee” in that government can act to “set rules” in the course of commerce. The major way is through federal and state legislation through the mechanisms of “taxes, subsidies, or regulations” (Colander, 2013). This works principally in business when two parties act together in a private contract to benefit each other financially. A problem arises when they are likely to “not take into account any effect that an action may have on a third party” (Colander, 2013). This is defined as an externality – company A and company B enter into a contract to produce a product, ...

This program has, however, allocated billions of dollars approximately over $700 billion for aiding the emergency loans to the important financial and several others firms of the United States, which are considered as too big to fail. There were many great intentions and motives behind the creation of Troubled Assets Relief Program, but as a matter of fact this program totally failed as it started stealing from the tax-payers dollars. However, some of the noteworthy recipients of the TARP are Goldman Sachs, Citibank, JP ...

Elasticity of demand measures this responsiveness or sensitivity of demand of a commodity to price change (Brue, McConnell, & Flynn, 2010). Price elasticity of demand may be elastic, unitary or inelastic. ...
