Answer to Question 1

Arguments for government regulation generally rely on the fact that high levels of concentration lead to inefficiency and thus the government should act to improve the allocation of resources. Arguments against government regulation often point to the fact that the most effective barriers to entry are those which have been created by the government. Thus, the outcome with government involvement can end up less efficient than it would have with no government involvement.
