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). Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? A. Rent controls will only add value to housing in a city. B. Free trade is usually preferable to the erection of tariffs and quotas. C. Taxing polluters will never help to protect the environment.

Crystal: While I do agree that government programs can be inefficient, I really think they are necessary to help the less fortunate.

Suppose that Rajiv, an economist from a consulting firm, and Simone, another economist from a nonprofit institution in the Midwest, are both guests on a popular science podcast. The host of the podcast is facilitating their debate over budget deficits. The following dialogue represents a portion of the transcript of their discussion: Simone: Most people recognize that the budget deficit has been rising considerably over the last century. We need to find the best course of action to remedy this situation. Rajiv: I believe that a cut in income tax rates would boost economic growth and raise tax revenue enough to reduce budget deficits. Simone: I actually feel that raising the top income tax rate would reduce the budget deficit more effectively. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to differences in scientific judgments. Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? Business managers can raise profit more easily by reducing costs than by raising revenue. Central banks should focus more on maintaining low unemployment than on maintaining low inflation. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations.
