We will look at the impact of different market environments on the market equilibrium and the welfare of an economy. We will also analyze why certain market environments can imply market failure and why certain regulatory measures can be applicable. We will furthermore evaluate the impact of different regulatory measures on the market equilibrium and the welfare of an economy.
