Linked Activity I: Develop Global Awareness, Thinking, and Code of Ethics

Directions: Develop an Organizational Code of Ethics for a company you either work for a fictional company or a known company you are interested in:

1. Given the work-related attitudes and behaviors in the company you have selected :

1. • Identify at least eight (8) principles, values, attitudes, behaviors, policies, etc. your organization should establish to promote ethical behavior and decision-making among its employees.
   • Explain how the Code of Ethics you propose will influence and affect your organization.

2. View the video: Ethics in America II - Risk, Reward, Responsibility: Ethics in Business at https://www.learner.org/series/ethics-in-america-ii/risk-reward-responsibility-ethics-in-business/.  In the video, eminent leaders from government, business, science and academia debate the following hypothetical cases that are drawn from the front pages of today's papers.

Discuss two cases of externalities, one positive and one negative, that affects you directly. This could be something as simple as a neighbor driving a noisy and heavy polluting truck, or the city planting new trees along a road which are pleasant to look at and also help remove carbon from the atmosphere etc.

• What are the economic outcomes associated with each externality, in terms of how it effects consumer and/or producer surplus?
• What is the socially optimal quantity relative to the open-market outcome?
• Could the Coase Theorem work to generate efficiency (i.e. is there low bargaining/transaction costs and clearly defined property rights) or might the market failure be best addressed by some regulatory authority?
• How might regulation incentivize those generating the externality to internalize their external effect and move society closer to the socially optimal quantity?
• In your response to another student's post, offer an alternative solution or insights you have from personal experience with a similar externality.

1. Describe the long-term balance of the monopolistic competitive market

Suppose a firm’s ATC is at its lowest value when the firm produces 12,000 units of output. If the firm operates in a typical monopolistic competitive market, then this firm will likely produce 12,000 units of output in the long run. If this firm operates in a typical perfectly competitive market, then the firm will likely produce more than 12,000 units of output in the long run.

true or False

The efficient scale for any firm is the level of output at which the average-total-cost curve is tangent to the demand curve.

True or False

Question text

In the long run, when a firm's demand curve is tangent to its average total cost curve, the firm could be a monopolistic competitor but not a perfect competitor.

True or False

When a profit-maximizing firm in a monopolistic competitive market is in long-run equilibrium, the firm operates at excess capacity since an increase in production would reduce average total cost.

True or false

1. Air travelers are sometime annoyed to find that the price of a ticket for a short flight may exceed the price for a long flight. For example, a round-trip ticket from Chicago to Washington Seattle on the airline recently cost $235, compared with the same airline’s price of $278 from Chicago to Moline, which is just less than half an-hour flight, about 160 miles. Travelers complain that such prices represent unfair discrimination against the residents of a medium sized cities such as Moline or Davenport, Iowa. They say that airlines should charge prices that are proportional to the distance flown. The airlines answer that they can serve major city pairs, such as Chicago, Seattle, at a lower cost (with larger planes and fewer empty seats) than less frequently traveled city pairs, such as Chicago – Moline. Do you see the airlines pricing policy in this example as true price discrimination? Discuss the merits of the current price structure and proposed alternative in terms of fairness and efficiency.
