Consider how price regulation may improve the performance of natural monopolies. In your response: • identify the "monopoly" price • identify the "socially optimal" price • describe two options (discussed in 11.3 of the online textbook) that a government has to regulate price and output in this industry • explain how price under regulation compares to the "monopoly" and "socially optimal" prices
