Discuss four of the policy tools available and how they could be applied to this problem, explaining what they are and how they work.

What will be an ideal response?


Students should introduce an example problem then explain four policy tools, such as regulation, subsidies, taxes, market incentives, charging fees, or public education. The student should apply the examples of tools to the problem they describe and illustrate how the tool could be used.
