Economic Policy In Botswana Microeconomic Factors & Role Of Innovation

Research and profile a policy within given context. The policy may be economic, social or political in nature. However groups are expected to apply microeconomic tools to assess the economic impact of the chosen policy. The choice of policy and context is left to groups to decide for themselves. They may choose to study a single policy within a specific country, presenting analysis of the situation prior to and after the inception of the policy. Alternatively they may choose to study the effect of similar policies in two different country contexts, presenting an analysis of why the effects may have differed. Finally, they may if they choose to, assess the possible impact of a new policy in a specific country context.
