Please read the lecture slides for week 2 carefully on the topic of government organisation.
A Argue why governments are organized in ministries and other particular organisations
mandated to produce particular outcomes, rather than all having the mandate towards the overall goal
of government.
B Mention two problems one gets because government is organized in functional units with
limited goals.
C Give three examples of how governments address the problems inherent to having
organized itself in distinct functional units.
Bonus Describe the problem above in terms of embodied cognition and market failures. Then
interpret the solutions you mentioned in C in terms of comparative advantages and returns to scale.
