Instructions
This assignment builds on the skills developed in writing the Introduction of the academic essay. It aims to assist you in developing your writing skills by setting you the task of producing a well-structured academic essay in which you present a coherent argument. This is something which may be required in your discipline-specific subjects and is an excellent way to develop higher order thinking. It requires refinement of your writing skills by applying the knowledge of academic writing principles gained in the online lessons and activities.

Assignment in a nutshell
You have to write an argumentative academic essay of 500 to 600 words on the topic, “Paradigm Shifts in Academic Disciplines”. The essay must comply with all the requirements of a well-written academic text. You must use information from at least three academic sources to support your argument (your one prescribed source, plus at least two more).
TAKE NOTE: Wikipedia, Investopedia and everything else you find on a normal Google search of keywords, are not academic sources. Academic sources come from a university library, or from Google Scholar

See the attached documents for further instructions on this assignment, as well as the marking scheme for the assignment (also available in the ‘Writing assignments’ folder under Resources).

Economics

Short Paper for Economics class:

Essay Prompt:
Try as we may, whether economies have markets that are laissez faire, loosely or tightly regulated, or
whether the government is the major decision maker, markets do fail. That is, they fail to register the
appropriate/proper/efficient prices and quantities in the marketplace. Costs and/or benefits may, in
some markets, spill over onto people outside of the market transactions thus, the externality. Some
are positive (my neighbor who lives to the left of me, has a flower garden that improves my quality of
life and hes done all the work) and some are negative (my neighbor to the right of me lowers the
quality of my life with the two broken down cars he keeps on his front lawn). Noting what has been
mentioned above, take a positive externality or a negative externality and explore it in detail. Examine
the role of social costs and benefits, private costs and benefits, what role, if any, can the government or
even the private sector play in correcting the externality, is there a free rider problem associated with it
and can it be corrected? As we attempt to correct for the externality what additional tradeoffs may the
private and/or pubic sectors make? You should use graphs to help reinforce and bolster your argument.

**PAPER MUCT INCLUDE EXCEL GRAPHS AND AT LEAST 3 DISCPLINARY SOURCES

Please read the article attached, which is titled ” Gains from Trade when Firms Matter “. Last week you have read the first 7 pages, this week please read the remainder of it.

Please discuss the following question:

When countries integrate, the number of world varieties will be high than each country’s autarky level, but less than the sum of both country’s autarky varieties, implying some of the initial varieties in each county exit. When firms making different varieties also have different marginal costs, what happens when a country integrates? Which varieties survive, and which ones exit? Why does this create an additional gain from trade?
