Abstract
The paper argues that the Federal government's policy towards deregulation had a dramatic impact on various industries. The paper primarily focuses on the airline, petroleum, trucking and banking industries. The paper continues, showing that deregulation was a big part of President Reagan's economic policy. He saw over regulation as a contributing factor to the economic problems that the country was facing when he took office in 1981. The paper also examines how the deregulation policy has allowed industries to respond better to the market needs and operate more cost effectively.

From the Paper
"Labor unions have been opposed to deregulation because competition has forced down wage demands. Previously labor disputes were accepted and the airlines would use this to justify the CAB ordered fare increases. Labor costs have gone from 42 percent of operation costs to 34 percent and the revenue per employee ratio has increased."

Abstract
The paper contends that deregulation in the cosmetology sector of British Columbia has spiked the number of accidents involving incompetent operators, cast a pall over the industry, and placed the government in an unhappy legal position. The paper argues that while deregulation may have had some initial arguments in its favor, a case can be made that few - if any - of those objectives have been reached. The paper outlines the numerous arguments against deregulation of the sector and calls for a return to the close supervision of the past.

From the Paper
"The paper emerging from this 3-page proposal/annotated bibliography will argue that the deregulation of the cosmetics industry by the British Columbian government has placed public safety at risk by flooding the market with incompetent or dishonest private operators. At the same time, the reckless actions of the Campbell government has placed the reputation of the entire cosmetics industry at risk; for many of the men and women working in the field, cosmetology is a personal passion - and it is..."

Abstract
This essay examines the savings and loans industry and argues that deregulation is better in a free market society when properly applied. Corporate America prides itself on providing opportunity for those with ambition and a strong work ethic; deregulation promotes these concepts. According to the paper, any abuses that result from deregulation such as criminal activity are costs involved in a free society that are simply not the fault of the motivated entrepreneurs. The paper further contends that criminals are opportunists and the criminal justice system should play the lead role in deterring their activities; not government intervention, which is completely inappropriate when Congress reaps the benefits of deregulation but fails to properly address its pitfalls.

From the Paper
"The conviction of deregulators was that the free enterprise system works best if left alone, unhampered by perhaps well-meaning but ultimately counterproductive government regulations (Schichor, Gaines, and Ball, 2002). Private enterprise works best if not overburdened by government bureaucracy. Deregulation allows private industry to offer higher interest rates and attract more money into the economy. An active, vibrant economy creates employment and bolsters the country's economic situation. For, at the same time that the new law unleashed savings and loans to compete for new money, it bolstered the federal protection accorded these "private enterprise" institutions, increasing FSLIC insurance from a maximum of $40,000 to $100,000 per deposit (Schichor, Gaines, and Ball, 2002)."

"REGULATION/DEREGULATION ISSUES

Munn v. Illinois
Munn v. Illinois [94 U.S. 13 (1876)] established a legal precedent related to both interstate commerce and private property rights in the United States. The State of Illinois enacted a law designed to protect both farmers and consumers by setting maximum charge for storing grain in privately owned elevators and warehouses. The enactment of the law occurred at the behest of the Grange movement, which was an organization that promoted farming interests. Another requirement of the Illinois law was that warehouse operations must obtain a license from the state to operate grain storage facilities.

Ira Munn violated both of the above-mentioned provisions of the Illinois law. Munn operated a grain storage facility in Chicago without ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the ethical considerations associated with the deregulation of energy, focusing on the electricity sector in the United States. The paper examines the issue from the perspective of both proponents (advantages) and critics (disadvantages) in order to attempt to ascertain if energy deregulation can be an ethical course of action.

From the Paper
"How can we reconcile these positions? Democratic, local control of power production is certainly a noble, even ethically important, goal. But if deregulation only results in more corporate control of energy production with less public oversight, it is certainly not an ethical choice. Perhaps the most ethical and rational path would be to remove government's monopolistic control while retaining the public's capacity to oversee the energy market. If policies were put into place regulate the actions of especially the major energy producers while encouraging the development of local, alternative power generation, then it might be possible to achieve the ideals of the deregulation proponents while avoiding the dangers of corporate corruption."

Abstract
This paper provides a general explanation of deregulation and then examines directly the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. From there, the paper explores the effects the Act has had on the airline industry and how it affects the way the industry operates in the current environment.

From the Paper
"One of the most significant events in the air transportation industry was the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. This paper will review what deregulation, in general is, and then move specifically to the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. From there, this paper will explore what effects the Act has had on the industry. By understanding these concepts, one can better understand the environment the industry now operates in, and how far it has come."

Abstract
The overturning of the Glass-Steagall Act has spawned numerous discussions and debates concerning the resulting effects. This paper reviews literature aimed at explaining the effects the FSMA has had on the values of commercial banks, investment banks, and thrifts, as well as the of effect of deregulation on corporate customers and the conflict of interest versus certification of value debates pertaining to commercial banks operating in the securities market.

From the Paper
"Studies done to date, in respect to the deregulation of commercial banks, are not sufficient and in some cases may have missed the boat. For instance, the study conducted by Czyrnik and Klein included thrift stocks (a variable of seemingly little importance) and excluded corporate customers. It would be interesting to see the results of a similar study concerning FSMA's effect on the value of corporations who use investment banks compared to those who use commercial banks for underwriting IPOs. A study of this nature would serve well to examine the possible effects of commercial banks tying investment banking to credit offerings. Another possibility for a future study would be to interview investors with question regarding their perceptions concerning conflict of interest or certification of value that may or may not attribute to commercial banks engaging in underwriting securities."

"CONSUMER EFFECTS OF AIRLINE DEREGULATION, AND EFFECTS ON COMPENSATION AND LABOR RELATIONS IN THE INDUSTRY

Introduction
Subsequent to the completion of the airline deregulation program almost 17 years, ago both the market structure and the ownership structure of the industry have been transformed. Deregulation brought about a rush of new airline companies into the industry. In 1978, the last full year of operation prior to the initiation of deregulation, there were 248 airline companies in the United States ( FAA Opens, 1985). By the end of the first full year of deregulation, there were 349 such companies.
By the end of the second full year of deregulation, however, some carriers many old line had failed or were on the verge of financial failure. By early 1983, the industry had ..."

Abstract
The writer takes an historical look at the way in which the government has eased its hold on the airline industry. The paper shows how this form of deregulation has led the airline industry, which employs nearly two million people, to be overwhelmed with competition and the lowering of prices.

From the Paper
"Economic deregulation has been described as " the state's withdrawal of its legal powers to direct the economic conduct (pricing, entry and exit) of non-governmental bodies." (Winston, 1993, quoting Stigler). Regulatory reform has become a significant trend in economic policy since the 1970s. The airline industry stands out as a significant example of this trend: formerly almost completely regulated, it has been and continues to go through a process of deregulation and review pending possible re-regulation at both the national and international level."
