Costs of taxation
Benefits of international trade

Analyze the difference between the efficiency of a tax system and the equity of a tax system as it refers to the costs imposed on taxpayers using the benefits principles.
Cite a minimum of three reliable and authoritative reference sources in addition to your textbook or any other data sources. The textbook and data sources should always be cited and included in the reference list
The student should do research of reliable and authoritative reference sources to generate either recent or historical real world examples of concepts, institutions, events, and trends that are relevant to the topics listed above. Hypothetical or simple story-like examples are welcome, but should be supplemented with real world examples.Students should use research articles from peer-reviewed journals, trade periodicals, government reports, research institute reports, reliable blogs, newspapers and magazines with coverage of business and economics, and other worthwhile sources. Some internet sources are to be avoided as primary reference sources: www.investopedia.com, www.wikipedia.org, and any other dedicated economics information website like www.khanacademy.org, www.amosweb.com, www.netmba.com, www.chegg.com, www.quora.com, www.tutor2.net, www.quickonomics.com, www.economicshelp.org, and other online economics and business encyclopedia or dictionaries. These can supplement the textbook only. (Of course, if you use these websites, you must cite them and include them in your reference list.) Penalties will be assessed if these are used instead of the textbook. (As you can see, the instructor is familiar with these and others. Please read the Mankiw textbook (he is in the top 40 worldwide which is the top 10% of all economists; see ).)
