Identify a particular good or service (Hand Sanitizer or other form of PPE) where its quantity traded is being influenced by a government policy. Is this product over-produced or under-produced? Who should be the winners and losers of welfare in this market? Does this seems to be true in the market for your product? Alternatively, identify a particular product being traded in a market you believe the government should intervene with a policy – whether it is a tax (or subsidy), or a price (or quantity) control.
