Competitive Market / Public Goods
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page paper discussing the inability of the competitive market to greatly affect public goods. Though there are areas that government function can provide greater benefits than would exist without that government involvement, government nonetheless in many cases interferes with the ability of the competitive market to contribute to efficiency in the production of public goods. These inefficiencies are less problematic than would be providing duplicate public goods such as highways and bridges for the sole purpose of competition between the two. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Compromise & Public Policy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that investigates the importance of compromise in formulating public policy.

Compromise as an Enabler of Enduring Public Policy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing
whether compromise has helped or hindered formation of public policy. An ideal world
likely would be one in which issues were either black or white, good or bad. Compromise
results in varying shades of gray with which neither side is truly happy, but all can find
workable. Without compromise in determining public policy, immobilization results and the
society makes very little progress toward anything but stagnation. While compromise may
not always appear attractive, it is nonetheless the most efficient and workable route toward
progress and growth. The paper uses James Madison's compromise with The Bill of Rights
as an example. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Coping with Change: Public Sector Employees
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page paper
discusses in part the manner in which the public sector typically follows the private in
times of sweeping changes. All business has undergone immense change in the past fifteen
years, and that change has been moving into the public sector for some time. Budgets
continually decrease, but decrease in services generally is not seen as being acceptable.
Taylorism could have been used as a positive tool, but it is best known for establishing the
piecework animosity between labor and management. Scientific management created the
greatest change known before that of the quality movement, downsizing and the quest for
ever-increasing ushered in a shift of similar significance. Public sector employees now are
expected to be as accountable as their private sector counterparts. Bibliography lists 9
sources.

Corporate Income Taxation
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing the relative merits of corporate income taxation, both in its current form in the US and as it would be were the US to adopt a value-added tax (VAT) approach. The VAT is not compatible with other tax structures, and depending on the output of the specific organization, it ultimately rests with those least able to pay it when the corporation raises prices to pay its taxes. This is true regardless of tax structure, and it is a point that legislators must bear in mind when searching for additional funds for pubic services. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Negative externalities are "spill-over" qualities or items that carry social costs. When producers fail to acknowledge those social costs, the costs are there just the same. Milliken is one company that gives potential negative externalities the attention they deserve. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
