Question

8 multiple choice 10 points
by promoting transparency, the government can improve ______ .
market efficiency
profit margins
economies of scale

Explanation:

Government transparency reduces information asymmetry in markets, allowing buyers and sellers to make more informed decisions, which directly enhances how well markets allocate resources. Profit margins relate to firm-level cost/revenue, economies of scale to production volume costs, and zoning to land use regulation—none are directly improved by government transparency.

Answer:

market efficiency
