Government Regulation of Big Tech, data usage, and Market POWER – Supply and Demand impacts on Consumer/Producer Surplus and the role of the Labor Market

Assignment Overview
You are to Write an opinion paper/essay on one of the topics I outline below incorporating your own views along with empirical data, economic concepts related to the course, and recommendations for potential solutions from policy changes, legislation enactment and private sector self-regulation.

Once you choose a topic or sub-topic you need to define your argument, identify the “players” ( government agencies, private firms, consumer and producer groups/individuals, international organizations, or others) and the position you are taking.

This lead-in can take different formats: anecdotal, personal, hypothetical are all options.

Next, describe the current situation and summarize the research and opinions that have been communicated publicly through various channels.
