Select one topic, then post and concisely defend your view. You may post to both topics, but are required to
only select one for your initial post. Be careful to identify the positive reasons for your normative position. Read
and respond to your fellow student’s postings at will. The topics to choose from are:
- Examples of Outsourcing. Identify one example of outsourcing that you have observed or desire to research.
Be certain to apply the economic analysis of Chapter 28 in your post and tell us what you believe was the most
significant economic factor in the outsourcing you described. Examine the labor and product markets involved.
Lastly, should there be any changes you would favor to any laws or regulations that accommodated the
outsourcing? - Determinants of Income Differences. Identify one of the determinants of income differences as enumerated
in Chapter 30 which you have personally observed or desire to research. Be certain to tell us what you believe
was the most significant economic factor in determining the wages for the labor market you selected. Lastly,
should there be any changes you would favor to income policies and why?
Note: A post that merely recites an example, without offering economic analysis or responding to the questions
assigned, garners few points.
Once you submit the first page to me the second page will come from a follow up question from the professor
regarding the submission (3-5 sentences) and a response to a fellow student’s postings (3 -5 sentences). Once
you get the first page complete I can get you the follow up question as well as the fellow students posting to
respond to.
