Industrial regulation:
This is when the government intervenes and puts up measures which seek to regulate the activities of a particular industry. For instance the government can put a limit on the number of vehicles that can be exported within a certain period. A company which exports beyond set limits will be breaking the law. The government use agencies and law enforcers to ensure that the industry follows the set regulations.
Regulations occur because industries if left alone without regulation would exploit the consumer by charging high prices so as to increase on their profits. Thus the government intervenes so as to protect the customer. Industrial regulations are also brought about by government seeking to protect infant local industries which do not have the financial and economic advantages compared to the large multinational companies. Hence the government restricts importation of the products manufactured by local industries so as to give them a chance to market and sell their products (Giorgi & Noia & Piatti, 2000).
Effects of industrial regulation to the market:
The market reacts differently depending on the goal of the regulatory goals and objectives. If the aim was to protect the consumer by preventing the traders from hiking prices, then the traders might reiterate by reducing the level of production and thus creating a shortage. This usually happens if the producers and the traders were not necessarily making huge profits
If the regulations were put in place after an agreement between the various players in the market, then it will be accepted. As a result products will be sold in a fair and reasonable price hence increasing their demand. Consequently the producers will produce more to satisfy the huge mar...

The Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 was set up to prevent unfair competition among businesses. It also allowed for a Commission (The FTC, or Federal Trade Commission) to be formed to regulate businesses and enforce the Act, which oversees many different things- from false advertising to false claims related to where a product is made. The Act additionally allows for the Federal Trade Commission to conduct investigations and to report any such indiscretions to Congress. (www.ftc.gov). While I agree that such regulations are needed to keep an open and free marketplace, I can understand both the positive and negative aspects of suc...

It has moved from an exclusive power of the national government to regulate the trade of good and services on an international level to include interstate activities. The nation is growing and new problems are continuing to emerge. The commerce clause has to adjust also, in order to meet the demands of the changing world and its’ needs. The federal government still has the power to regulate interstate commerce. It still remains the reason for the increased federal regulation on the economy. The national economy is growing. It is no surprise to see that areas such as agriculture, finance industry and other services have increased and been included in laws governing these areas

Many businesses used this new process to raise the price of their competitors. They did this by putting constraints on entry restrictions (Woods 1986).

In this assignment I am going to describe three different Health and Safety legislations that promote the safety of individuals within a health and social care setting.
The ability for the federal government to regulate businesses’ activity is given in the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8 is known as the commerce clause; it states, “Congress shall have the Power…to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes” (Reed, 173). Through the commerce clause, the government is able to regulate business activity by the use of administrative agencies, which is defined as “a governmental regulatory body that controls and supervises a particular activity or area of public interest and administers and enforces a particular body of law related to that activity or interest” (Administrative Agency, 1). There are two types of regulatory authority that agencies may possess; quasi-legislative and/or quasi-judicial. Quasi-legislative means that agencies can make rules and regulations that have the same impact as a law created by federal legislation. Quasi-judicial authority gives agencies the power to make rulings, just like in federal courts.

There are many laws and regulations to talk about when it comes to the health care industry. All of the laws and regulations must be abided by for the organization to function to the best of its ability. The four employment/employee-related laws or regulations I will talk about in this paper will be Equal Pay Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. Even with these laws and regulations in play doctors and hospitals still face many challenges.
The term federal regulation is used by the government to implement public policy. The process of rulemaking can be a long and extensive process. It is sometimes viewed as vital to the definition and implementation of public policy in the United States. According to Longest (2009), “Implementing organizations, primarily the departments and agencies in
Not all negotiations or discussions involved every nation affected by the newly proposed regulations. After regulations were passed through the Basel Process, they were up to each national regulator to apply with their own adjustments. This, understandably, led to the misapplications, with or without intention, in different markets.
