Answer to Question 1

Economic regulation involves only particular industries, including policies aiming at controlling prices or influencing the characteristics of specific products. In contrast, social regulation applies to all firms in the economy and aims at improving the quality of life by, for example, regulating product safety, advertising and environmental effects.
