Suppose that Gilberto, an economist from a business school in Georgia, and Juanita, an economist from a university in Massachusetts, are arguing over government intervention. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: JUANITA: The usefulness of government intervention in the economy is a long-standing issue that economists continue to debate. GILBERTO: I feel that government involvement in the economy should be reduced because government programs cause more harm than good. JUANITA: While I agree that government programs can be inefficient, I really think they are necessary to help the less fortunate. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to _____________ (options: differences in values, imperfect information).
