compare and contrast Negative feedback and positive feedback. In 200 words

Expert Solution

Answer) Feedback in general means reactions or responses. So it is a response within the human body. Feedback is important and in the absence of feedback, the body loses its ability to self-regulate.

The two types of feedback are:

Positive feedback
Negative feedback

In the negative feedback mechanism, the response is more towards the targeted area. Whereas in a positive feedback mechanism response is basically away from the targeted area.

The positive feedback leads to amplification of changes, so it leads to greater results/products. Whereas negative feedback causes a reduction in changes and leads to fewer results/products.

Negative Feedback	Positive Feedback
They occur more frequently	They occur less frequently.
It leads to a decrease in production rate thus leads to a reduction in response	It leads to an increase in production rate thus leading to more of a product/response
They cause more stability	They cause agitation due to increased response and hence are less stable.

Economics Question 1. a. Will positive network effects lead to positive or negative feedback effects, and given these feedback effects, will this lead to a larger or smaller size of the firm? b.
